We had a wonderful time together during a half-day conference where participants learned the science behind which foods are health-promoting and why.

The knowledge gained was immediately be put to good use in culinary demos where attendees learned quick and easy methods to prepare plant-based foods. Finally, all participants joined in to prepare a gourmet lunch under the expert supervision of trained chefs.

A wonderful experience, the best combination of learning about nutrition, hands-on cooking, eating, and fun!
