Healthy Eating Workshops

Vegetarian Cooking Series Starts This Weekend
Wednesday, 24 February 2010

Want to get some tools and tips on how to improve your health without making any sacrifices? Registration is still open for Nimisha Raja's Cooking Series at Whole Foods. As these classes are part of PCRM's Cancer Project nutrition and cooking series, each class will feature a video nutrition lecture from The Cancer Project's Eating Right for Cancer Survival DVD, followed by a cooking demonstration of simple and healthy dishes, which attendees will be able to sample.

You can sign up for one class, eight classes, or anything in between! See below for full details on this weekend's class and more information on the rest. More information can also be found at veg.ca/healthyeating.

Cancer Project

Week One: Favouring Fibre

Fibre helps your body rid itself of toxins, waste hormones, excess cholesterol, chemicals and other undesirables. Without fibre in the diet, these excess compounds can get reabsorbed into the bloodstream, leading to a possible increased risk of cancer growth.  Additionally, fibre is especially important in helping the immune system function properly as well as facilitating the removal of waste from the body. In this class, enjoy a fibre-rich meal as you work towards your goal of 40 grams of fibre per day.


Recipes for this class:
Guacamole Plus
Quick Bean Burritos
Tomato Corn Salsa

Where? Whole Foods Teaching Kitchen (87 Avenue Rd)

When? Sunday, February 28, 2:00 - 3:30 pm
