Many of Denver's cooking schools offer vegetarian cooking classes.
The Mile High City is home to a number of cooking schools, several of which offer vegetarian cooking classes. Most of Denver's schools offer varied class schedules throughout the year, so check their websites for course dates. Most of the classes are conducted in one day and, frequently, students not only eat what they prepare during class, they're also invited to take additional meals home.
Cook Street School of Fine Cooking
The Cook Street School of Fine Cooking and "Vegetarian Times" magazine offer joint Vegetarian Feast classes. Each class includes a magazine subscription and a complete meal with wine and dessert. Here's what's been on the menu: vegetarian French onion soup, pesto portabellos, scalloped sweet potatoes, green beans with walnuts and shallot crisps and apple ginger cake; and autumn salad with pomegranates, butternut squash risotto with pesto, tomato mushroom galette, and baked ginger pears.

The Seasoned Chef Cooking School
The Seasoned Chef Cooking School got its start in Denver in 1993, offering a variety of classes to every level of cook, from beginner to seasoned chef. Most of Seasoned Chef's courses are hands-on, with limited enrollment, so students receive personalized instruction. Students sample all the food prepared in class and also receive a recipe packet so the meals can be re-created at home.
Among the vegetarian courses The Seasoned Chef has offered is a Fresh and Flavorful Vegetarian Workshop, which includes such fare as vegetable-tofu potstickers, French onion soup with tortellini and gruyère cheese, seitan sausage sliders, baked portobello lasagna rolls, and tempeh ratatouille with spring vegetables and quinoa.
