Join Chef Rick Moonen and Chef Ken Rubin for an interactive live event that will highlight some of the significant and emerging developments within the food and hospitality sectors as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.  Rather than a formal presentation or lecture, Rick and Ken will share some opening remarks about the state of the industry, where help is most needed, and offer some perspective, guidance and inspiration for others.  We ask our audience participants to bring questions, suggestions, and resources to share with the group. We know that many in our audience will bring their own expertise and experience so we will invite everyone to contribute and add to the conversation with the goal being to help promote best practices and find ways to support those who are immediately impacted by the pandemic.

The secret sauce of unapologetically delicious, reliable desserts is recipe development and testing-testing-testing. Join Vegan Pastry Master Fran Costigan for an exploration of all the ways you can make your recipes better. Start with a reliable recipe from a trusted source. Then test to see if different plant milks, sweeteners, even the fat content in different cocoa powders and strengths of batches of agar powder matter. Sifting, grinding, kind of electric appliance or hand mix? It can feel endless. But the process is always rewarding and interesting. How far are you ready to go to refine your recipes?
