Side Orders: Cooking classes come with samples, shopping lists

Braly: Dinner fiascoes deter future endeavors

Tuesdays just got a lot tastier at Greenlife Grocery with Shopping With Charlotte, a free cooking demonstration led by Charlotte Flegal and Greenlife executive chef Charlie Loomis. Each week, the team will prepare five recipes and provide those in attendance a complete shopping list and recipes to create the dishes at home.

Shopping With Charlotte happens Tuesday mornings at 10 in the second-floor demonstration kitchen. The store is at 301 Manufacturers Road.

Two more programs are offered the next two Thursdays from 6 to 7:30 p.m.

This Thursday, Judy Hildebrand from Judyfoods will conduct the first in a monthly series of vegan cooking classes. This month’s topic unravels the mystery of tempeh. Participants will learn about this versatile, healthy soy food and how to use it. Cooking demonstrations, recipes and generous samples will be offered. Cost is $15 per person.
