Foods That Heal ~ Anti-inflammatory Cooking
(minimum 10, maximum 20)
In-person at Phinney Neighborhood Center
July 10th, 24th 2021 9:30-12:30 including lunch
Fee: 125 USD
Amanda’s 20 years in the healthcare industry has brought to light the importance of eating foods that are functional; healing rather than harming. What’s commonly found is that many folks have underlying inflammation that can be addressed by minimizing certain ingredients, nominally gluten and processed sugar. We can give loved ones a list of foods to avoid and foods to eat, however this can be overwhelming. As one of CMHS’s mottos is “getting the medicine to the people in ways that they’ll enjoy taking, so that healing can occur,” let’s empower them with a list of recipes they’ll love and can easily cook – and eat – themselves!
This class teaches the necessary basics of going gluten, dairy and refined sugar free as well as:
- 5 simple recipes to cook and share with clients and/or loved ones,
- Break down natural sweeteners, which are healthy, and which are not,
- What are the most common inflammatory ingredients,
- How to bake gluten free vegan,
- How to menu plan.
The workshop will include a simple lunch cooked by Amanda using 2 of the recipes provided.
This workshop is appropriate for anyone! People living with inflammation who enjoy food. Graduates of a culinary program. Practitioners who want to offer their patients more guidance as to how to get started on an anti-inflammatory diet. Don’t miss this workshop that is both informative and tasty!
