All About Food: Enlightened Eating
"Eat food, not too much, mostly plants" is one man's eating manifesto. Could it really be that simple? Explore the dynamics of food selection (shopping), food preparation (cooking), and food consumption (eating). Expand your understanding of ethical eating practices, gain knowledge of the "hidden" benefits of using local ingredients, and learn quick and healthy cooking techniques that enhance the flavors and nutritional value of food. Each class meeting will include a lecture/discussion component, cooking demonstration, and food tasting.
