Cooking with Attitude: Buddha Bowl and Three Asian Sauces at GRuB Farmhouse – Olympia, WA

 It is a great way to make a quick, healthy meal with whatever is available in the kitchen. The bowl is your canvas to express your creativity inspired by any culinary traditions of the world. However, the key is in the sauce. In this workshop, we will be making three different sauces of Asian origin that can be made ahead of time and ready to upgrade your ordinary Buddha bowl to a “wow!”.  Mostly vegetarian with vegan options. May include peanut and/or soy products.
