Make it Mediterranean: “Getting Creative with Beans in One Pot" by Crossroads Apothecary
Date: Wednesday, April 9, 2025
Time: 4:00 PM 5:30 PM
Details: As part of our new series “Make it Mediterranean”, nutritionist Keri will highlight the major players of the Mediterranean diet and show you novel ways to prepare and enjoy them. In this second “BEAN” focused class, we'll make quick and easy one pot dishes using healthy shortcuts. Recipes include:

DIY Tempeh by LARDER AT HOME
Date: Saturday, April 12, 2025
Time: 2-5 PM
Location: Ivy Bookshop (5928 Falls Road, Baltimore, Maryland 21209)
Details: Let's be honest, the tempeh available in stores is pretty blah. But this traditional Indonesian bean cake, when made with care and high quality ingredients, can be the star of your plant-based summer BBQ.
Making tempeh at home is a game changer. You can choose virtually any grain or legume (throw in some seeds if you like!) and have a batch of protein-rich patties, free of ultra-processed additives, in 24-48 hours. In this class I will walk you through the steps, discuss troubleshooting common issues, and provide 1 week of followup support.
Let me take you to veggie burger heaven!
