Social Cooking Night: Plant-Based Meal Prep on a Budget

# Social Cooking Night: Plant-Based Meal Prep on a Budget

Come cook, connect, and leave with an entire week of healthy meals!
Social Cooking Night is a hands-on, community-style cooking experience designed to make plant-based eating affordable, practical, delicious, and easy to maintain. Together, we'll use fresh, seasonal ingredients inspired by local farmers markets to prepare flavorful meals that cost under $5 per serving.
Instead of recipes that leave you with mountains of leftovers or half-used ingredients, we'll focus on 1- and 2-serving meals, smart ingredient overlap, and simple techniques that help you use what you buy and reduce food waste.
Throughout the evening, you'll learn how to build satisfying plant-based meals that can help support:

• Lower food costs by relying on inexpensive whole-food staples and seasonal produce
• Reduced food waste through smaller portions and ingredients that work across multiple recipes
• Natural, sustainable weight management by emphasizing fiber-rich, nutrient-dense foods
• Better digestive health through increased intake of plants, fiber, and whole foods
• Improved heart and metabolic health as part of an overall healthy eating pattern
• Lower dietary inflammation by incorporating more fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, herbs, spices, nuts, and seeds
• Reduced risk factors associated with chronic diseases when plant-forward eating is paired with an overall healthy lifestyle
• More energy and better nutrition without relying on expensive specialty health foods
• More confidence in the kitchen, even if you don't consider yourself a cook
• Less decision fatigue during the week because your lunches and dinners are already prepared

### Your $175 Ticket Includes

This isn't just a cooking class—you'll leave with your food for the week.
You'll prepare and take home 14 individual plant-based meals: 7 lunches + 7 dinners, giving you a full week of meal-prepped food.
Your ticket also includes a digital copy of Saura's new Rice Cooker Cookbook, featuring easy plant-based recipes designed around simple preparation, flexible ingredients, and making healthy cooking more accessible.
We'll cook together, share techniques, talk about ways to modify recipes based on what's seasonal or affordable, and enjoy the social side of preparing food alongside other people.
No advanced cooking skills required. This event is designed for experienced plant-based eaters, people who are vegan-curious, anyone trying to eat more vegetables, and anyone who simply wants to spend less money on food while making healthier choices.
