"Well, what can you eat?" is a common question amongst my group of friends. I am notorious for my food allergies—eating and cooking is a daily adventure. As a health-conscious food snob who's been brown-bagging for years, I am constantly in search of new ideas. More than 11 million Americans suffer from food allergies and more than 12 million are vegan. For these ingredient-challenged foodies, Tarrant County's Spiral Diner & Bakery—voted one of the top 14 vegan kitchens in the U.S. by VegNews Magazine—has become the hot local destination for organic, 100 percent vegan (no meat, milk, eggs, honey, etc.) goodies. They're now offering a two-hour dessert class that includes recipes and personalized easy-to-repeat-at-home step-by-step instructions from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Monday at 1314 W. Magnolia Ave. in Fort Worth. The class is $45 per person or $80 per couple. Call to reserve a spot at 817-874-1182 or visit spiraldiner.com.
Mon., April 17, 7-9 p.m.
