Meatless Mondays Masterclass: New Twist on Old Favorites
Cooking Class for Ages 16+
Monday, July 13th | 5:30-8:00pm
Elevate your Monday routine in this hands-on class that explores grain-based, gluten-free, and whole-food meals designed to position your palate for healthier choices.
Chef Mona is your expert and guide as you craft Savory Umami Oats and Caribbean Jerk Fonio & Roasted Veggie Bowls.
First, flip the script on a breakfast staple by simmering rolled oats in a rich vegetable stock infused with smoked paprika, lemon, and herbs. Finish the dish with a chiffonade of fresh greens and a variety of fun flourishes. The result is a savory, high-fiber alternative to traditional grits or risotto.
The second item on the menu is Caribbean Jerk Fonio & Roasted Veggie Bowls, a nutrient-dense powerhouse that brings the heat and heartiness of the islands to your kitchen. You’ll discover Fonio—the ancient, gluten-free “super grain” of West Africa. Topped with roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, and a fiery, house-made Scotch Bonnet jerk sauce you’ll be craving this all summer long.
We’re taking familiar comfort foods and adding sophisticated, plant-forward twists. Chef Mona’s secrets make healthy, plant-forward choices feel like an indulgence, not a sacrifice.
