Vegan Cooking Class: Healthful Resolutions - Low-Cal, High-Flavor

[Guest guest]

VEGAN COOKING CLASS: HEALTHFUL RESOLUTIONS - LOW-CAL, HIGH-FLAVOR

Though healthful plant-based diets are naturally lower in calories and higher in

fiber than meat- and dairy-based diets, our January class focused on those

delicious dishes that are exceptionally low in fat and calories but high on

flavor. Join Compassionate Cooks' founder Colleen Patrick-Goudreau, author of

the award-winning cookbook, The Joy of Vegan Baking: Compassionate Cooks

Traditional Treats and Sinful Sweets, in her monthly fun-filled Vegan Cooking

Classes that celebrate healthful and humane eating! As always, we will also be

debunking the myths about plant-based eating and and providing lots of resources

and tips. We feature mostly local, in-season, organic ingredients.

 

Join us as we cook up:

 

*Kale and Nori Salad

*Asian-inspired Lettuce Wraps

*Yellow Split Pea Dal

* " No Queso " Quesadillas

*Homemade Hummus

*Fabulous Fruit Smoothies
