Ottonlenghi and the Middle Eastern Vegetarian: A Meat Free Cooking Class

Explore the vibrant world of Middle Eastern vegetarian cooking at Ottolenghi and the Middle Eastern Vegetarian, a meat-free hands-on class at the Gray Olive Cafeteria in the Burnaby Heights. Drawing from four of Yotam Ottolenghi’s cookbooks, this class celebrates the bold flavours, colours, and textures that made his approach to vegetable-based cooking so beloved — and proves that meat-free can be anything but boring.
