Full of Beans — Crispy, Savoury & Sweet by Kristy Sadler

Think beans are just for chili? Think again. Sustainable food educator Kristy Sadler is hosting a hands-on workshop at the Centre for Social Innovation that will change the way you look at this humble pantry staple. From crispy appetizers to a luscious dessert, you'll learn how to make beans the star of your next meal.

What to Expect This is a deep dive into the world of legumes. You'll learn how to prepare crispy cannellini bean fritters, a smoky mixed bean Jambalaya, and even a surprising white chocolate panna cotta made with butter beans. The class is entirely vegan and gluten-free, making it a great option for those with dietary restrictions.
