In honor of Pride Month, Central Market is hosting a series of Virtual Cooking School classes featuring notable LGBTQ+ Chefs and Personalities. For example, Joe Yonan participated recently.
Yonan, the two-time James Beard Award-winning Food and Dining editor of The Washington Post and the author of the bestselling book Cool Beans: The Ultimate Guide to the World’s Most Versatile Plant-Based Protein, did a live, online class last week featuring some of Yonan’s favorite light, summery, vegetable-forward dishes including asparagus with crispy ginger and garlic, a version of cacio e Pepe without cheese, and no-bake chocolate oat cookies. His book can be found on Amazon.com in the Kindle format for $4.99 or as a hard-bound book for $17.59.
Next on the schedule is Eric Kim, a New York Times staff writer and the author of the newly released Korean American: Food That Tastes Like Home. He is a former Senior Editor at Food52, former Contributing Editor at Saveur magazine, and currently hosts videos on the New York Times YouTube Channel. During this LIVE online class, 6pm-7:30 Fri, Kim will teach you how to make cheesy corn and ranch pizza with black pepper honey and gochujang chocolate lava cakes.

During this LIVE online class, Chef Willis will teach you to make stuffed chicken breasts with chevre and spinach, tomato and walnut salad, and peaches and cream with almond cookies.
