Virtual Instant Pot Plant-Based Cooking: Demo with Emily Paster

Did you get an Instant Pot over the holidays? Or have you had one for a while that you don’t use often enough? Our new virtual plant-based Instant Pot class features vegetarian and gluten-free recipes that can also be modified for vegans. Food writer and cookbook author Emily Paster shares healthy and delicious recipes adapted from her latest cookbook Instantly Mediterranean. You may think pressure cooking is only suited for large, tough cuts of meat, but Emily’s plant-forward dishes focus on cooking legumes, vegetables, stews and custards in the multi-cooker.

Join us for this virtual demonstration focusing on how pressure-cooking works, what makes an Instant Pot special, and how it can make cooking easier and more convenient for you. Whether you use your Instant Pot all of the time or whether it’s brand new to you, this class will help you embrace pressure cooking to get delicious plant-based meals on the table when you are short on time.
