At New Vibe Culinary’s hands-on class in Fargo, North Dakota, you’ll learn to build vegetarian favorites that stand up to any backyard grill. Meet at 1407 1st Ave North Fargo, ND 58102, where Chef Paul Haugen runs a compact, two-hour kitchen intensive focused on homemade falafel, black bean burgers finished with remoulade, and a fresh cucumber tzatziki.
The session combines close demonstration with purposeful practice. Chef Paul demonstrates how to balance moisture and binders in legume mixtures so patties hold together without turning gummy, how to season and shape falafel for a crisp exterior and tender interior, and how to emulsify a remoulade that brightens a burger. You’ll rotate through stations, use manual grinders and skillets, and work with a controlled fry station; everything is provided and the format is deliberately accessible to cooks at a range of experience.
This class is a practical expression of Fargo’s growing culinary identity. New Vibe Culinary and Chef Paul Haugen bring approachable technique and Midwestern ingredients to center stage, teaching recipes that translate easily to home kitchens. Visitors appreciate that a short, two-hour class returns long-term skills: recipe cards, technique notes, and flavor combinations you will repeat for family meals or casual dinner parties.
