Irie Vegan Culinary Academy – May 14 Adult Group Class

Dahling, were you there? If you missed us this time, perhaps you’ll catch at our next class. We had an amazing time at our live group cooking class held at Extreme Youth Sports in Lake Mary, FL on Saturday, May 14. There was Irie reggae music, lots of delicious bites to eat and a ton of great cooking tips all packaged together in a lively, bright atmosphere.

We started out with a Massaged Kale Salad that the ladies prepared in groups of 3, after gathering ingredients from the Mise en Place station. By using oil, lemon juice and avocado, Chef Jenn demonstrated the effects of fat and acid on leafy greens. That experiment ended in a tasty salad everyone enjoyed, even the little chefs.

Chef Jenn then demonstrated how to perfect a Grilled Jerk Portobello (get the recipe here) and finished off with a healthy take on rice, her Quick Fried CauliRice.

We even had special prizes and samples of Chef Jenn’s Irie on the Go lunch delivery menu.

At the end of the session, we had a group of very satisfied ladies who were armed with new cooking skills to practice and master at home.

Chef Jenn’s class was fun, informative and inspiring. We came away with new recipes and the techniques to re-create them in our own kitchens. Who knew that Kale Salad could taste so good! Powered by Plants. This class is awesome!

Cooking classes with Jenn Ross are incomparable. She obviously really loves what she does, and finds such excitement teaching people how to cook. She creates truly one-of-a-kind classes, with authentic Jamaican food and even plays Jamaican music to set the theme. The course is a balance between hands-on learning as well as listening. She is so detailed, teaching every step of the way, from how to properly cut to prepare. And she is attentive to her students’ needs. She is creative and prepares delicious food. I highly recommend taking her classes. You won’t find one like this!
