Find out everything there is to know about cooking with seitan. It’s a wheat gluten that can be used as a meat substitute in a wide variety of dishes with incredible results. In this class, you’ll be taken on an exciting culinary adventure as you learn how to make seitan from scratch. You’ll be shown how to create different textures and work with different flavours to use seitan in stews, stir-fries and casseroles when you’re cooking at home.
You’ll be able to make the recipes you learn on this class at home, time and time again. After your cookery experience, you will be emailed a pack for you to keep containing all of the recipes you learned on the day.
Recipes you are likely to make include:
Caramelised onion and oregano sausages
Seitan steaks, fat chips, rocket, pear and pine nut salad, vegan blue cheese dressing
Deli Slice
Quick soy and sesame stir fry with meaty seitan
Korean Seitan ribs with kimchi fries and gochujang mayo
Above recipes are subject to availability of ingredients.
What to expect…
Lots of food: Firstly, you can expect to eat a lot of delicious food! It will come as no surprise that there will be lots made, so you will be nibbling and tasting throughout your cookery experience. (Don’t worry about bringing anything to eat with you!)
A relaxed, hands-on experience, suitable for all abilities: Our cookery experiences will help you hone your skills in a fun and friendly atmosphere. You’ll dive right in with hands-on practical cookery sessions. This will include working in pairs, groups and individually under the expert guidance of our experienced tutor. We welcome students of all abilities, so whatever your current skill level, you’ll fit right in. And you don’t have to be veggie to enjoy our courses – everyone’s welcome!
The chance to ask tons of questions: Attendee numbers are kept small so you’ll have maximum contact with your tutor. There will be plenty of opportunities throughout the day to ask any questions you may have and take advantage of their years of experience in all things veggie and vegan!
