Universal Meals

Aug. 29.25 at 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM. The Universal Meals curriculum, borrowing from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine’s well-known Universal Meals program, gives everyone a seat at the table. This single class is designed to meet the varied needs of individuals for health, environmental, or humane concerns, for allergy reasons, and for cultural and religious traditions. Participants will receive simple guidelines and recipes that focus on vegetables, fruits, legumes, non-gluten grains, herbs, and spices. The delicious dishes prepared in the class work for almost every type of diet, and are free from animal products, gluten-containing grains, nuts, alcohol, and other allergens to accommodate food preferences and common allergies. 

The format consists of a class of about 1.5 hours plus some time afterwards for Q & A.  The class features a short presentation by me, a 15-minute video about universal meals from the Physicians Committee, a short quiz and discussion about the topic followed by a cooking demonstration by me with samples for the class participants.  During the class I will prepare the following dishes: Spinach Artichoke Dip, Cauliflower Chickpea Masala, and a Quickie Cinnamon Rice Pudding.
