Food is medicine you take three times a day. But healthy food doesn’t have to taste like medicine. Nor does it have to be something impossible for you to make!
Join Holistic Chef Vicky Valencia and Chinese Medicine Physician Henry Jun Wah Lee, L.Ac. for an evening of food and learning that will stimulate not just your brain but also your taste buds. There will be tasty and healthy dishes to sample, practical recipes you can use, as well as enlightening information on how to get well and stay healthy in the coming months.
Our goal for this class is to make eating tasty and healthy food a sustainable and accessible choice in your life. While there is an incredible, and often dizzying, amount of information available about what foods we should eat and what we should avoid, there is a lack of support and resources on how we can bridge the gap between the ideal and our reality. Many people give up because ingredients are hard to find, the food doesn’t taste good, preparation is difficult or they just don’t have all the time it requires. Through this class, we intend to make healthy eating a tasty endeavor that is both fun and practical.
Time and Place: September 23 from 6:30pm to 8pm. Cote D’Azur Spa, 74 N Fair Oaks Ave., Pasadena, CA 91103
RSVP: RSVP is required. Please call 323-540-4180. Limited to 15 guests.
Admission: $25. Price includes food, recipes and handouts.
