Welcome to Rogue’s Online Cooking Class!
Our Chef Extraordinaire is Erin Gallardo! A neuro-physical therapist, ultra marathon runner and plant-based eating enthusiast!
We have been inspired by having to move online, to try new and different recipes and have started an online cooking class!
We meet on Mondays from 4:00-5:00pm PST on ZOOM!

We had a great class last week going through our favorite small appliances and kitchen gadgets that help us cook more healthy food!
This week we are starting a little bit of a streak with mushrooms! There are so many benefits to eating mushrooms and we are going to explore lots of recipes!

It’s 2021 and time to re-introduce this cooking class and the kinds of small kitchen appliances, gadgets and tools that make cooking and preparing your own food easier and more fun! Erin will be showing us the ones she uses the most and show us some of the simple things she makes often. We will also open it up for anyone who attends to show us their favorite things!

I’m so excited for this weeks recipes! We are going super healthy with steamed veggies in the instant pot again.

Lastly, we have taken the recipe of my favorite Mexican chocolate mousse and made it plant based! I am so excited for all of this!

Our second cooking class! We made a vegan mozzarella from Chloe’s Vegan Italian Kitchen Cookbook (https://amzn.to/2RbXKae)! Simple, easy to make, and delicious! We used our mozz sauce on pasta mixed with a marinara to make a red sauce, and on steamed green beans! Then we chatted a lot about food :)

Our first cooking class was great! We learned a lot about how to use the Instant Pot (do you have one? You might want to consider it!). Erin made dried chickpeas into cooked ones! There are so many great things to do with Chickpeas! Add them to a pasta dish, a salad or make hummus! Maybe a chocolate pudding or a no tuna salad sandwich!
