Vegetarian Society to host vegan workshops for caterers

15th October 2009, 12:37pm

Caterers who struggle to put vegan choices on their menus are being invited to attend a workshop which aims to inspire them to get more creative without using meat, fish, eggs, milk and cheese.

The Cordon Vert School's Vegan Chef Workshop, is designed to help professional chefs cater more creatively for special diets and tap into the growing vegan market.

This one-day workshop provides a thorough understanding of what vegans do and don't eat and aims to give you the confidence to offer vegans a diverse menu.
Attendees will learn what to consider when making pastry, pancakes, mayonnaise and sandwiches as well as how easily everyday recipes can be made vegan by substituting simple ingredients.

The course is a hands-on workshop in which chefs will make a variety of dishes covering a range of catering needs from gastro-pub, small hotel or guesthouse entertaining to fine dining, buffet dishes and creative sandwich fillings.
Desserts will include panacotta (using a vegan setting agent) and vegan pancakes.

Registration is at 9.30am, course commences at 10.00am with an aproximate finish time of 4.30pm. The Cordon Vert school, based in Altrincham, Cheshire.
