Spice your Valentine’s Day

The Vegetarian Society’s Cordon Vert school is offering vegetarian cooking classes over Valentine’s Day weekend to warm up any relationship or kitchen! The weekend courses will include recipes from Spain, Italy and beyond.

On Friday 13th couples can spice things up with a Viva Espana Workshop. Enjoy tapas dishes and bring back the memories of a romantic holiday spent in Spain.

Saturday will bring out your Italian side with the Italian Workshop, creating classic dishes with a Cordon Vert twist like lemon, mozzarella and herb risotto or fennel baked in a cream and cheese sauce.

Sunday is the perfect day to take part in Cordon Vert’s Around the World Workshop. This hands-on workshop will give participants a speedy culinary world trip, making dishes like bobotie from South Africa, coffee, ginger and rum trifle from the Caribbean and dolmades with muhumara from the Middle East.
