Hi all! Most of you already know that I teach online cooking classes live nearly every Sunday afternoon…but if you don’t, now you do! I LOVE teaching these classes. We have so much fun + all walk away with lots of ideas, energy, and plenty of food. I always look forward to class.
Got any questions about class? Check out the FAQs right here. Still have a question that wasn’t answered? Just reply to this email or contact me here.
If you’d like to attend any of the classes and $ is a barrier, just let me know + I’ll get you all set. ✌🏼
Also, if you’re interested in any of my previous classes, they’ve all been recorded + are available for purchase (includes the recording, recipes + grocery list). Check out my on-demand library right here!!! There are OVER FORTY CLASSES!!!
Okay, without further ado, here are the rest of my classes for 2022. All classes are at 2pm EST.
*SATURDAY* OCTOBER 29: A Happens-to-be-Vegan Halloween Meal
Pumpkin Spice Espresso Martini
Rice Pilaf with Carrots + Turmeric
Black Bean + Tomato Stew
Roasted Squash Agrodolce
Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread
[NOTE THAT THIS CLASS IS HAPPENING THIS COMING SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29th, NOT MY USUAL SUNDAY SLOT!!]
Just to be FESTIVE!, everything in this happens-to-be-vegan menu is either black or orange for Halloween. Besides the color story, it’s also a delicious, hearty fall meal. We’ll start with espresso martinis (they’re consumed a lot on Below Deck, the TV show I watch most often…please don’t judge me) and then move onto an orange rice pilaf full of carrots and turmeric. That rice will be enjoyed with a simple, deeply savory black bean + tomato stew, and to round those out, a platter of roasted squash dressed with maple syrup and vinegar. For dessert, a simple pumpkin bread studded with lots of chocolate chips. Fun + simple!!!

Baked Parmesan Polenta
A Simple Butter Lettuce Salad
Apple Crisp
A comforting meal that’s perfect for a Sunday evening…or just any old time! We’ll start with Honeyed Tom Collins cocktails (basically honey lemonade with gin) and move onto a meal that mostly happens in your oven— roast chicken with onion gravy, baked polenta (no need to constantly stir!), and an apple crisp for dessert. Alongside, a simple salad. As always, tons of tips, ideas, make-ahead notes + leftover suggestions offered during class. This will be such a cozy one.

Sidecar Cocktails
Hasselback Carrots

To drink, sidecars (get it?) and for dessert, delicious lemon poppy snowball cookies. As always, tons of tips, ideas, make-ahead notes + leftover suggestions offered during class.

White Wine Spritzers
Antipasto Chopped Salad
Chicken Francese
Garlic Bread
No Bake Cheesecake + Raspberry Jam Parfaits
My dream dinner! We’ll start with refreshing white wine spritzers and move onto a crunchy, packed antipasto chopped salad full of the best of the deli counter. For the main event, classic chicken francese (a great lesson in making a pan sauce!) plus warm garlic bread. For dessert, possibly the easiest dessert in the world— no bake cheesecake + raspberry jam parfaits. Easy, fun! As always, you can ask me anything during class. We will talk all about what can be made ahead and other ways you can riff on the recipes.

SUNDAY DEC 18: A Vegan Hanukkah Dinner
Full Sour Dirty Martini
Potato Latkes
Red Lentil + Chickpea Soup
Olive Oil, Orange + Walnut Cake
Join me for this festive, fun Jewish meal that happens to be totally vegan. We’ll start with a twist on a classic dirty martini and use brine from full sour pickles instead of olives and then move onto a rich, comforting red lentil + chickpea soup served with crispy potato latkes (that use the aquafaba from the chickpeas instead of eggs!). For dessert, a simple + beautiful single layer cake rich with olive oil, orange + walnuts. This will be the final class of 2022! Come join me to toast a full year of Sunday classes!

Hope to see you in a class!
Take good care, xoxox Julia
these all sound so good!
I can’t comment on your post from today - it’s saying I’m not a subscriber for some reason.
Your gravy recipe looks wonderful. Do you think I could use some cider that’s turning hard in my refrigerator?
