Cook your Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is quickly approaching, and if you’re tasked with hosting duties this year, you might be freaking out. The Sacramento Natural Foods Co-op (2820 R Street) has two upcoming classes geared toward Thanksgiving cooks. On Saturday, November 12, Elaine Corn will teach basic techniques and recipes for traditional dishes such as roast turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie. She’ll also dish out time management tips for the marathon of a cooking day during the hands-on class. On Thursday, November 17, vegans will learn how to incorporate classic Thanksgiving flavors into a plant-based, gluten-free, soy-free and even oil-free meal. The demo-based class will feature a salad with cranberry-pomegranate dressing, croquettes with mushroom gravy, stuffed squash and pie. In both cases, students will get to taste the dishes and enjoy a glass of wine. Tickets cost $55-$65 for Corn’s class and $40-$49 for the vegan class. More at http://sacfood.coop.
