Catching Up With The Ladies of Spork
I’ve been a big fan of Spork Foods since the beginning, and I can now brag that I “took classes in the original Spork Home Kitchen in Silverlake.” I’m sure I will be telling my grandchild, as they listen in wide-eyed disbelief about the days before daiya cheese, gardein and vegan Starbucks frappuccinos.
Since there has been a rather sudden upswing in the mainsteaming of veganism (I’m still trying to figure out what to attribute that to – I feel it really started with the introduction of daiya last year), it’s only right that Spork Foods, home of the premeir vegan cooking/baking classes in LA, expand their empire.
They’ve moved into a new location in West Hollywood and are kicking the doors open with a party on Friday, June 4, co-hosted by Rory Freedman of Skinny Bitch.
I was lucky enough to have a quick chat with Heather Goldberg (on the right), co-owner of Spork with her sister Chef Jenny (on left), and ask her a few quick questions about the move and the big party:
West Hollywood is awesome. It’s always lively and fun and there are always tons of people walking around! We wanted to be centrally located and change up our scenery a bit.
Thank you! We designed the space ourselves and had SO much fun doing it! These sisters leave the painting and chandelier hanging to the profeshs. And while they work, you know we feed them.
Our new classes are just the same as the ones we hosted in Silverlake except we can have up to 12 students! Classes are still $65 for an organic vegan four course meal and lesson!
Please call or e-mail us to reserve a spot!
5. Whats on the menu for the big kick off party? please say cupcakes. ; )
We can’t give away all of our secrets but surprises await you! Come by and find out!
7:00pm – 10:00pm
West Hollywood, CA 90046
