UK — a very British feast (with tinsel) w/ Jolene (ENG)

Timezone : Europe/Brussels
Oxalis - Ecole de cuisine végétale ASBL, Chaussée de Wavre, Auderghem, Belgique
The Sunday roast is a ritual — a weekly act of gathering that has anchored British life for generations, a table where everything slows down and the meal is the occasion. In this workshop we give it a full plant-based makeover without losing a single gram of its comfort, its golden crispness, or its quiet ceremony. Timed perfectly for the season, this is also our Christmas special: expect festive warmth, seasonal spice, and the kind of generous, unhurried cooking that makes December feel like it was worth the wait.
On the menu:
- Sunday Roast – The full spread — a centrepiece roast with all the trimmings: crispy roast potatoes, maple-glazed parsnips, buttery greens, and a rich, glossy onion gravy that ties everything together.
- Christmas Special – A seasonal surprise inspired by the best of British festive baking — think warm spice, dried fruit, and something involving pastry that will make your kitchen smell like the best version of December.
A warm, festive morning for curious cooks, lovers of comfort food, and anyone who believes the table is always worth gathering around.
This cooking class will be given in English by Jolene.
Jolene is currently writing Taste of Letting Go — a hybrid vegan cookbook and travel memoir tracing one woman's journey from corporate burnout to emotional healing through travel, food, and self-inquiry. Structured across 34 destinations, each chapter weaves together a personal story, a psychological reflection, and a plant-based recipe inspired by that place. Food is the thread that connects the entire journey — a practice of grounding, healing, and connection. In this workshop series, Jolene brings that journey to life in the kitchen, one destination at a time
