Subject:  Plant Forward Cooking – Nourish Yourself with the Goodness of Plants 
Speaker: Vanessa Young

Plant forward dishes are vibrant and delicious, and they can nourish us in many ways. With this versatile and sustainable approach to food, you don’t necessarily have to exclude meat, but rather allow plants to take center stage. In this talk you will learn to incorporate more vegetables, beans, fruits, whole grains, and 29 other plants into your meals through satisfying recipes, methods of preparation, and practical lifestyle strategies.
