How much fun did I have at lunch today? I had the privilege of teaching a fabulous group of women about a vegan diet at a local private golf club near my home. When I was working with their event coordinator in planning the luncheon, we talked about the basics - why I follow a vegan diet, what cooking tips I have up my sleeve, where do I find my specialty items and how do I make some of my favorite dishes?
We decided that I would make an appetizer for the women to nosh while I spoke, and then something to accompany their lunch. I settled on two dishes I blogged about earlier last week - a tasty, heirloom tomato bruschetta and a strawberry vinaigrette for their salad. The chef at the club made a fabulous lunch to follow including avocado toast with radishes, vegan chicken and bacon wraps (made from seitan and smoky tempeh) and a couple of other yummy treats.
For the tablescape, they used grasses as a runner, and then "planted" the ingredients I highlighted in my discussion with clever, pretty signs. The napkins were filled with the recipes I prepared, and my contact information. It was truly such fun!
