Vegan Cooking Class, Saturday, March 9th, First Unitarian Univers alist Church of Oakland

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

The Oakland chapter of the Unitarian Universalists for the Ethical Treatment

of Animals and the Francisco-based Food and Social Justice Project will be

co-sponsoring a vegan cooking class on Saturday, March 9th, from 10 am - 1

pm at the First Unitarian Church of Oakland (685 14th Street, at Castro).

 

Answering the age-old question of what in the heck people are supposed to do

with tasteless white blobs of tofu, " Creamy, Dreamy & Delicious: Healthy

Cooking with Versatile Tofu " will boast an interesting, flavorful, diverse

menu of easy-to-prepare dishes that can easily be incorporated into the

hectic schedule of the busy adult.

 

On the menu:

 

* Vegan Cesar Salad

* French Onion Pie

* Eggless Egg Salad

* Creamy Potato Salad

* Dolphin-*and*-Tuna-Safe Tuna Salad

* Tofu-Spinach Lasagna

* Chocolate Midnight Mousse Torte with Raspberry Sauce

 

The benefits of soy (a source of high-quality protein boasting a generous

share of B-vitamins, iron, and possibly calcium [depending on the manner of

processing], whilst containing no cholesterol - to say nothing of

cancer-fighting isoflavones!) have garnered wide mainstream attention to the

extent that most health-conscious people have considered including soy

products such as tofu in their diets. It is to this group of not-yet-vegans

that our cooking class is directed. While everyone is welcome to attend (of

course!), we are especially encouraging people to forward this note to

individuals who are pondering veganism, or just seriously considering eating

more healthfully.

 

For $25, participants will learn how to make the seven items listed, feast

on generous samples of each item, be encouraged by the ease with which they

can embrace a healthier lifestyle (for themselves, for the environment, and

most poignantly, for the animals), and leave with armfuls of literature

including recipes, resource lists, and propaganda-galore.
