Danville's Online Cooking Series Debuts Friday

Press release from the Town of Danville:

When the weather outside gets frightful, join us for a meal that is tasty and delightful as the Town of Danville introduces a new series of virtual cooking classes. Instructor Carol Jeha of Compassionate Cravings, comes from a family that cooks. Her passion for food and cooking sparked from spending hours in the kitchen helping her mother, grandmother and aunt prep dinner for very large family get-togethers. After marriage she started a gourmet hotdog and ice cream shop that grew for 2 years before selling it to purchase a pizza and pasta restaurant that she helped develop for 20 years. Now she has extended her passion to teaching a class during a pandemic along with hosting her own YouTube channel where she makes a variety of desserts and dishes centered around using vegan ingredients.

With the purchase of a ticket, participants will receive a shopping list of ingredients to prep ahead of time and a Zoom link emailed prior to the class. Instructions on ingredients that may need defrosting or prep work beforehand will also be included in that email. Each recipe has alternative protein and product options to best suit any dietary need such as vegetarian, gluten free and food allergies.

There are three classes scheduled for the remainder of 2020:

October 23, 2020: Taco Salad with a side of home-made guacamole.

November 20, 2020: Homemade “Adult Mac and Cheese” and a green salad appetizer.

December 19, 2020: Stuffed Artichoke Hearts with hummus.

Classes are held on Zoom at 7:00pm. Tickets are $35 each.
