Ann Gentry of Real Food Daily will be teaching vegan cooking classes at Central Markets in Fort Worth, Dallas, and San Antonio this month. The class will include four courses and a copy of Gentry’s new cookbook Vegan Family Meals for $55. Gentry will incorporate Hatch chili peppers into several of the courses, including a Jalapeno-Hatch cornbread with scallion butter. You can’t cook at Central Market in August without Hatch peppers, after all. The description of the event is a little fuzzy about whether it’s completely vegan or not (I think it’s just cutesy writing), so it’s best to ask when you register. Considering you get to meet a famous restaurateur and cookbook author, eat a four course meal, and come home with a $25 book, this class is a great deal.
