Spent the afternoon baking pies for the Vegan Pie Judging class this weekend! Participants will get to sample pies from two categories: “Decadent” and “Close to the Plant”

In the “Decadent “ category- the taster should say “I can’t believe this is vegan!”. For this category, I made an apple pie with an out of this world flaky vegan crust, and a Biscoff Cookie Peanut Butter pie. (Meringue top being baked on Saturday)

In the “Close to the Pkant” category- bakers highlight the flavors of nature. I made a carrot pie and a cherry-wild sumac pie!

There is still room in the class if you want to join in the fun!!

The more we study the natural world, the more it's complexity amazes me. The seemingly gentle oyster mushroom needs a lot of energy to break down the fiber of a log. It gets extra nitrogen and protein to do this work by eating nematodes, small worms that live all over the world. We live in an amazing place for sure. What will we learn tomorrow?

Become part of the exciting new sport of Vegan Pie-ing today!! Add "Certified Vegan Pie Judge" to your resume today! (not just anyone can add the initials CVPJ behind their name!)

You don’t need to be vegan or vegetarian to enjoy this class. You just need to have a love of sampling desserts! In this class, you will learn about the unique properties of the eggs, lard and dairy products used in traditional pie baking, and the substitutes vegan bakers have discovered to make delicious pies! (For example, did you know the liquid from a can of garbanzo beans makes a delightful meringue?). You will also learn the rules of the Plant Pie! Vegan Pie Contest, and how to fairly judge a variety of different pies against each other. During your judge training the concepts of mindful eating, with the objective to slow down and really enjoy your food, will be reviewed and implemented while we sample a variety of different and delicious vegan pies.

Certified judges not only have bragging rights, but are then eligible to judge the Plant Pie! Vegan Pie Contest held the following weekend, September 28th 12:30-3:30pm.

Forest Bathing, Saturday, August 17th, 9am-12pm. $55

Inspired by the Japanese practice of shinrin yoku, Forest Bathing has been scientifically proven to boost immune strength, reduce stress, and improve cognitive functioning. During a Forest Bathing walk we will have the opportunity to slow down and carefully observe our senses. We may begin to notice incredible things about ourselves and the more-than-human world around us. In escaping the rapid pace of our everyday routines we may find unparalleled wonder in the moment and relax into the beauty all around us.
