- Community Cooking Classes, which are frequently offered in collaboration with community organizations, typically focus on the preparation of easy, well-balanced, plant-based recipes. All recipes are provided so you can make them at home.
- Food For Life Classes usually highlight how a plant-based diet can address specific health conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, cancer, obesity, brain health, mental health, and reproductive health. Culinary instructor Deb Czech is licensed by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine to teach Food For Life classes, all of which promote healthful eating based on the latest scientific research. In addition to receiving the recipes for the in-class cooking demonstration, your class packet will also include detailed handouts and resources pertaining to healthy vegan nutrition.
