cooking class in Berlin: Vegan by chance

At At The Table, we’ve always believed that food is more than just about what’s on the plate—it’s about story, culture, and values. Through our new Vegan by Chance workshop series, we’re diving into how some of the most delicious plant-based dishes around the world were created in kitchens where ingredients were simple, local, and often influenced by necessity. 

In many cultures, the concept of a “poor kitchen” doesn’t mean less richness in flavor—it’s about resourcefulness, creativity, and making the most of what’s available. Whether it’s the humble, hearty stews of rural Italy, the inventive kosher dishes, or the vibrant dishes from African and Caribbean communities, these recipes prove that classism has no place in the richness of food. 

We want to remind you that simplicity and local ingredients can lead to extraordinary dishes. These dishes are a testament to how the most flavorful dishes can come from limited resources—and how real richness often lies in the care and creativity of the cook, not the price tag of ingredients. 

Join us in celebrating these culinary traditions and the beauty of making something special from what’s available to you.
