Quick Pickling Class:
Flavorful Veggies for Everyday Meals
Enjoy more vegetables, brighten up meals and cut food waste with quick pickling
Opening a jar of vegetables you pickled is satisfying—they’re crisp, flavorful and ready to brighten up a meal. Fortunately, quick pickling can fit into your food prep without fuss. And on warm days, it’s a cooler option to heating vegetables.
In this class, you’ll learn ways that quick pickled veggies reduce food waste, add unique flavors and increase healthy options for snacks, salads, sandwiches, main meals and more.

Meet Your Chef Guide
Hi I’m Michele Redmond, a Dietitian Nutritionist and French-trained chef who understands the reality of busy days. When life gets hectic, I’m a practical, low-key home cook.
As a Food Enjoyment Activist, I believe we all deserve good health without stressful mealtimes. Let’s meet health goals AND enjoy eating well in ways that save time and make mealtimes easier on time-starved days.
I have taught culinary nutrition in universities, medical schools, corporations and the Cordon Bleu in Paris, but I do improv comedy for fun, so classes are a mix of learning and laughter.
