COOKING TO RELIEVE STRESS AND TENSION!

Sat, March 10am-12:30pm

  Most of us are aware of the many health benefits of eating plant foods, but one of the things I love most about macrobiotic cooking is the focus on the energetic aspect of food and how food can warm us up, cool us down, energize or relax us. If you are feeling stressed (who isn't these days?), please join me for COOKING TO RELIEVE STRESS AND TENSION! This class includes a scrumptious lunch of 5-6 dishes. Besides healing myself of chronic fatigue syndrome, migraines and eczema, I lost over 40lbs. in the first 6 months of changing my diet. Many of my clients have reported similar results! 

Taste how delicious plant foods can be, which have no cholesterol and very little fat, but at the same time, are high in vitamins, fiber and minerals! $39 if received by March 8, otherwise $45. Class includes  a delicious lunch (5-6 dishes), as well as all recipes and a resource guide.  Please call 412-741-5167 or email:macrorose@msn.com to register.

Cooking Green Fact "As environmental science has advanced, it has become apparent that the human appetite for animal flesh is the driving force behind virtually every major category of environmental damage now threatening the human future: deforestation, erosion, fresh water scarcity, air and water pollution, climate change, biodiversity loss, social injustice, the destabilization of communities, and the spread of disease."

FEATURED RECIPE!

SIMPLE LENTIL SOUP! Just in time for the cooler weather, this is a delicious, warming soup! Lentils are very high in protein and iron, while low in fat. Like all plant foods, they have NO cholesterol. Ingredients:  1/2 onion, diced 1 stalk celery, diced 1 carrot, diced 1 cup lentils, sorted and washed Salt to taste Soy sauce to taste Note: 1 cup dry lentils yields about 4-5 servings Layer the onion, celery and carrots in the pot. Add water to cover lentils by 1-2 inches. Cover the pot and bring to a boil on a medium flame. Reduce the flame to low and simmer 35 minutes or so. Add more water as lentils expand. Continue to cook, covered, until lentils are soft. Add a pinch of salt and cook 7-10 minutes. Season the soup with a little soy sauce and cook 5-7 minutes more. Options: For thinner soup, use more water. Vary the type of vegetables. Season the soup with miso instead of soy sauce or salt. Make a hearty one pot meal by adding noodles or rice.     Food is Elementary Recipes
