Join us on a field trip to the beautiful Jarvis Kitchen Showroom for a cooking demonstration with Culinary Coach Dr. Shalu “Shirly” Ramchandani. We invite you to cook along with us, or just watch, as Dr. Ramchandani prepares three delicious heart healthy Mediterranean style dishes.

Now more than ever, we should be using food to boost our immune systems, prevent chronic disease, and manage weight. However, preparing healthful and tasty meals can feel challenging for a variety of reasons these days, including lack of time and reluctance to go to the grocery store. As a result we turn to take-out or processed food options that are less healthy and more expensive. Join us as we discuss strategies to bring joy back into the kitchen, while adding years to your life. During this Heart Smart cooking demonstration, you will find easy to follow culinary instructions to create three simple Mediterranean recipes, the ingredients of which can be repurposed to make additional meals throughout the week.
