Fold Your Fortune: Vegan Dumpling Workshop

🥟Let’s Wrap Up the Year with Dumplings!🥟 Join us for a fun and flavorful celebration of the Chinese New Year with a hands-on Dumpling-Making Workshop led by the fabulous vegan chef Christine Wong (@Conscious_Cooking). We’ll start by mixing and kneading our own dough from scratch (because store-bought is so last year), then dive into the art of folding dumplings like a pro. Whether you’re team “perfect pleats” or “creative chaos,” you’ll leave with some folding tricks up your sleeve—and a full belly! Dumplings aren’t just delicious—they symbolize wealth, comfort, and hope. As we fold, we’ll chat about the things that fill our lives with joy and abundance. Think of it as food for thought while we make food for feasting! Spaces are limited (and dumpling envy is real), so snag your spot before it’s too late! 💵 Sliding scale pricing: $8–$18 (your choice!) 🍸 If you prefer paying less, bring some drinks to share (Alcoholic or non-Alcoholic!) ✨ Schedule: 4:00 PM–4:30 PM: Arrive, mingle, and soak in the good vibes 4:30 PM–5:30 PM: Get your hands doughy and fold your fortune 5:30 PM–6:30 PM: Gather ‘round for lively chats and community connection 6:30 PM–7:30 PM: Dumpling time = feasting time! Come for the dumplings, stay for the stories, and leave with a heart (and belly) full of New Year cheer. 🐍✨ About your host: Christine is a graphic designer, author, plant-based cook, food photographer, ambivert, and advocate for eco-friendly choices.
