All About Food: Healthy Cooking
“One should eat to live, not live to eat.” — Benjamin Franklin
Could it really be that simple? Explore the dynamics of healthy cooking, food selection (shopping), food preparation (cooking), and food consumption (eating). Expand your understanding of ethical eating practices, gain knowledge of the “hidden” benefits of using local ingredients, and learn quick and healthy cooking techniques that enhance the flavors and nutritional value of food. Each class meeting will include a lecture/discussion component, cooking demonstration, and food tasting.
