2024 Global Plant-Forward Culinary Summit: Meat-and-Dairy-Free Cooking

Seminar C: From New York and Pittsburgh: Essential Flavor Insights into Meat-and-Dairy-Free Cooking
Chef Amanda Cohen opened Dirt Candy in New York over fifteen years ago when vegetarian restaurants were present but not prevalent with the goal to create vegetable dishes that people crave the way they crave fried chicken and pizza. Since then, she’s garnered praise, including a Michelin star. Chef Kate Lasky is also a trailblazer; along with her partner Tomasz Skowronski, in 2016 she opened the vegan restaurant Apteka in Pittsburgh. In this land where pierogi hold a special place in people’s hearts, Apteka has attracted a local following and critical praise for their complex, flavorful modern take on central and eastern European cuisine. In this session, these critically acclaimed pioneering chefs will share culinary R&D on creating sophisticated dishes that are complex, inviting, and satiating while also being meat- and dairy-free.
