VEG 101 Classes
Fall 2010: Dates will be determined soon
If you're a veg beginner -- or even if you're well beyond that stage -- VEG 101 is the right place to start! This course is a 6-week series, featuring both a lecture and a cooking class (with samples!) each week. The lectures will give you an excellent grounding in topics such as health, nutrition, factory farming, environmental impact, and related subjects. The cooking classes include grains, legumes, tofu, tempeh, seitan, and more. Past class members have told us that VEG 101 has changed their lives!
Interested in finding out more info about our Fall Session? Contact our registrar, Susan, at 503-521-1941 or susan@nwveg.org to receive more info once the dates and location are finalized.
