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!
