In-person cooking classes are coming back! These are offered through a partnership between UC-VEG and Thrive Umpqua, and sponsored by Thrive Umpqua.
At each stand-alone class, UC-VEG provides a brief introduction on the importance of shifting toward a plant-centered diet, as suggested by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, World Health Organization, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and other leading experts. We'll then dive into practical ways to make the experience convenient, fun, affordable and delicious!
At each class, UC-VEG's cooking demonstrators will show you how to prepare your kitchen, shop for ingredients, and create tasty dishes! 
Bring your appetite, as samples will be provided for each recipe. Bring your own fork/spoon to save on disposable utensils.
