Georgia’s Veg Cooking Class

This month, vegan restaurant Gymnopedie will be offering Tuesday night veg cooking classes in Athens, Georgia. Students will learn to cook like a professional chef, as the classes are dedicated to sharpening skills in categories like knife work, bread baking, and even coffee tasting. Chef-owner Sarah Dunning hosts the two-hour classes, which cost $60 per person and include a light dinner. “One of the big ideas behind [the classes] is that you build a bit of community, you get to know people in the classes, and it is more about coming together,” Dunning said to Red and Black newspaper. “The food is the medium for meeting others we don’t cross paths with otherwise who live in the same town.”
