The Plant-Based Charcuterie Board with Chef LaDonna Johnson

Here’s your chance to be the envy of the next party or get-together when you show up with a sensational plant-based charcuterie board.

Instructor and Chef LaDonna Johnson is an experienced plant-based cook, which makes her the ideal expert to give you the information you need, not only about what it means to eat a plant-based diet but how to make it happen. 

While bowls of boring chips are the norm, you know you’ve hit the jackpot when you spot a charcuterie board. And guess what? The vegan versions are just as delicious as the originals. It’s true! 

Join Chef LaDonna as she shares her passion for a healthy lifestyle and plant-based cooking, while laying some knowledge on you as she discusses the elements of putting together an impressive vegan charcuterie board, step-by-step.

Unlike crudité, a charcuterie board is an assortment of prepared meats and fancy cheeses. Not the most vegan-friendly appetizer in the world, right? But all that changes tonight when Chef LaDonna teaches you how swapping in tasty plant-based pepperoni (you heard me) and vegan cheeses, including sliceable & spreadable versions, then rounding everything out with healthy homemade crackers, a savory vegan dip, candied spiced nuts and more, delivers a fabulous and trendy charcuterie board that will be a hit at any party.  No one will ever know the delicious party bites are plant-based… unless you tell them! Yep, they’re that good. 

Of course, there will be lots of food tasting in class and you’ll take home the recipes for everything taught (and tasted) so you can recreate them and wow friends and family at get-togethers, year 'round.

Grab your friends and join us for this healthy cooking class… with a plant-based twist for entertaining!
