[Guest guest]

SEPTEMBER'S VEGETARIAN COOKING CLASS -- FOOD TO GO: MEALS FOR SCHOOL, HOME, OR THE OFFICE**Our monthly cooking classes are a testament to the abundance of fabulously delicious, filling, and nutritious food you enjoy when you leave behind the meat and dairy.**The summer is almost over, as students begin to return to school, vacationers return to work, and we all create our meal routines! September's class focuses on "food to go" -- whether we are packing healthful lunches for our children, brown-bagging lunches for the office, or running out the door for a full day of errands. Join us on Saturday September 20th as we whip up: -Sloppy "Joe" (Veggie variation of the old standard!)-Sloppy "Col" (Variation of the variation) -Veggie Burritos and Veggie Wraps-Colorful Bean Salad with Brown Rice-Eggless Egg Salad-Light Lemon Bundt Cake with Lemon SauceIn addition to what we're actually cooking, we will provide you with a bevy of resources, suggestions, and ideas for plant-based cooking, including lots of ideas for menu-planning, especially for quick and easy meals for lunch or dinner. We'll also be offering a raffle, sponsored by VegNews (www.vegnews.com), the winner of which will receive a wonderful cookbook (my favorite!) The Peaceful Palate by Jennifer Raymond.WHEN: Saturday, September 20th -- 10:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m.WHERE: First Unitarian Church of Oakland, 685 14th St. at Castro.
