Take a pause with us for our Easy Vegan Paella Cooking Class. This session is about slowing down, connecting with others, and finding joy in the process—not just the final dish. We’ll come together to cook one big, vibrant pan of plant-based paella, rich with color, flavor, and soul. Paella is traditionally a communal dish, and we’ll embrace that spirit by working as a team to chop, stir, season, and simmer. No rush, no pressure—just the shared experience of creating something beautiful together. You’ll learn how to balance bold flavors with simple, fresh ingredients, and how to enjoy the rhythm of cooking without a timer ticking. This isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence. Whether you’re a kitchen pro or a curious beginner, you’ll leave feeling grounded and inspired. Bring your curiosity, a friend if you'd like, and an open mind. Let Sunday be a reminder that cooking can be a form of connection, creativity, and care.
