EDIT: This event has sold out, thanks everyone! 

Join me at Sweetpea Bakery for a 4 course dinner to benefit Portland’s Let Live Animal Rights Conference. A few Sweetpea staffers and I will be transforming the bakery into a candlelit bistro for the evening and serving a seasonal, organic, intimate, four course vegan dinner for 40. I’ll even be using herbs from my garden, that’s how local we do. Please see all the info below the menu for ticket purchasing info, and I bet any other questions you have will be answered. If not, then email me at postpunkkitchen@gmail.com. Thanks everyone, I’m excited to cook for you and I hope to see you there.

Diners who pay 100 dollars will receive a signed copy of my cookbook, Veganomicon. All proceeds go to The Let Live Conference, and anything left over will go towards local grassroots vegan organizations.

To Purchase Tickets
To purchase tickets, paypal 40 to 100 dollars. Print out your thank you email, this will be your ticket when you arrive to the dinner.

Seating
If you are buying tickets for more than yourself, please put their names in the paypal comments and a table will be arranged for you. If you would like to sit with people in addition to the ones you are purchasing tickets for, please put their names in the comments as well, and let me know that you want to sit with them. If you are flying solo, you may end up sitting with strangers. But we promise that they will be fascinating strangers.

Despite my Brooklyn Jewish roots, I’ve never been to Florida. But next March I am going to do some cooking classes on this Taste Of Health cruise. I’m not suggesting any one should take the cruise for that reason, I’m just saying that the reason I said yes was so I could meat meet Dirk Benedict from the A-Team. If only everyone had their priorities so straight.

From the list of presenters…will he be making gluten free cupcakes with me?
