Save the Date: Vegan/ Raw Cooking Classes

If you live in Longview, Kelso, WA or surrounding areas (Kalama, Rainier, Vancouver, Portland, Castle Rock, Cathlamet, etc.) and you are looking for ways to improve your health through diet you can’t afford to miss THIS!!!

I am so excited to let you know that I am finalizing dates for the first ever Unprocessed Life Cooking Class!!! Currently, all I am waiting on is a response from the venue owner where the classes will be held to get the Green Light!!!

As of now the space that I will be using for classes will limit the class size to 5 students. Since I already received inquiries double that number (and that is even before I posted it anywhere in town!!!) I am going to attempt to schedule either a Friday and Saturday class, or two Saturday back to back classes or even two Saturdays in the row.

The TENTATIVE date is 6/20/2009. We will start at 10 am and will wrap up by 12-12:30 pm. Location: Longview Sewing & Kitchen [945 Washington Way, Longview, WA 98632].

In the first class I am planning to talk about the Basics of healthier living, so I will present a variety of dishes. I am already planning classes that will be dedicated to specific meals: breakfast food, gluten-free living, healthful delicious and guilt-free snacks, etc. Yes, my imagination is running wild and I am totally EXCITED!!!

While I am waiting, I thought I should give you more information on what to expect to learn in the class.
