food & environment - nutrition and cooking class

​As part of the fundraising for Layla's surgery, Alegria Vegana will be hosting this nutrition and cooking class in the kitchen of one of our locals in Bushwick --address will be disclose after RSVP.

​Join us to learn and discuss more about how some environmental chemicals can be found out in the food that we consume, and what we can do to avoid them.

​We will dive into this topic in two sections: a theoretical part that will include a short informative video, followed by a group discussion, then we will move to the kitchen to learn some cooking skills and taste the recipes from the cooking demo lead by Vanessa.

​Food For Life is a program created by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) that offers nutrition and cooking education to reduce chronic diet-related illnesses. It is designed by doctors, nurses, and nutritionists.
