A hands-on in-person cooking class culminating in a dinner served with wine and beer. This class is limited to 14 students. Review our registration and cancellation policies here.

Beans shouldn’t be a mystery, but for many cooks, they are. Should you soak them? Add baking soda? Trust a pressure cooker without fear of kitchen destruction? Join Chef Marie for this hands-on class, where we’ll bust the myths and give you the confidence to make legumes an easy and regular addition to your meals.

You’ll learn:

Soaking made simple — when to skip it and when it makes a difference

Bean science, demystified — why some never soften and how to fix it

Flavor first — seasoning strategies that make humble beans sing

Gut-friendly cooking — techniques to reduce gaseous side effects

Two foolproof methods — master stovetop and pressure cooker techniques

In addition to learning all about legume fundamentals, you’ll also cook up a variety of dishes that will highlight the versatility of every varietal and create a delicious bountiful spread to enjoy at the end of class!
