Hispanic Heritage Celebration

Hispanic and Latino cuisines have become global favorites thanks to their bold flavors and rich cultural traditions that make them so special. 
 

We’re honoring the culinary heritage of Hispanic and Latino communities while exploring delicious ways to give traditional favorites a whole-food, plant-based makeover. Together, we’ll discover how beans, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and traditional herbs and spices can take center stage for healthier alternatives to family meals that are often heavy in meat, cheese, and added fats.

Type 2 diabetes and chronic diseases affect Hispanic and Latino families at disproportionately high rates.  This creates an important opportunity to shift our focus towards the many naturally health-promoting foods already found within these culinary traditions while reimagining dishes that contain ingredients commonly associated with an increased risk of chronic disease. 
 

Perhaps these foods are part of your own heritage, or maybe they have become favorites you love to enjoy. 
In this class, we'll share how simple changes can create meals that honor both culture and vitality.
 

You will learn:

• How to transform favorites with wholesome plant foods
• The health benefits of beans, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and traditional herbs and spices
• Simple ways to replace animal products (meat, cheese, lard) while staying true to family traditions
• How to enjoy the vibrant flavors of this cuisine in ways that support your long-term health
   

Join us for a flavorful celebration of the rich traditions and culinary creativity of Hispanic and Latino communities, and enjoy the delicious possibilities of plant-powered cooking.
