TESTIMONIALS: Here are just a few (believe me -- there are many more!) of the

enthusiastic responses from September's class:

 

- " This class was so much fun! Thank you so much! I feel like the recipes are

simple enough that I'll really be motivated to make them on my own (and they

were delicious!). I'm really looking forward to taking more classes. I

appreciate all the info on veganism and vegetarianism too and will be thinking a

lot more about the issues of animal cruelty. "

 

- " I was very impressed with this class and would love to attend again. "

 

- " Loved the class! Very fun and inspiring. Hope to take more in the coming

months. Keep up the good work. Thanks so much! "

 

- " Great class! I really loved all the stories and useful side information

presented in a humorous manner. And of course, I loved the recipes! "

 

- " The best class yet. Simple yet tasty dishes. I also did not realize chocolate

is vegan. That helps with the transition [to veganism] a lot. "

 

- " Great class! Makes a case for a vegan diet! "

 

- " Thank you very much! The food was wonderful. I enjoyed your friendly banter.

You were very organized with the preparation and delivery. "

 

I look forward to seeing you in October! Please feel free to pass on this email.
