Vegetarian Cooking Class  and Dinner

Hands-on cooking classes are held periodically at Boxelder Basin Wellness Retreat. The event starts with a house tour (former home of Sylvia Sidney, star of stage and screen). Then everyone gets involved in chopping vegetables and listening to Sally Miller answer questions on healthy cooking. Topics covered vary from time to time but include cooking with fat (what kind? what temperature?); the importance of green salads and water consumption; protein content of vegetables; raw versus cooked food; acid/alkaline food; handwashing and germs.

Every dinner includes a hot entree prepared by the class, a salad bar, beverage, and light dessert. Informational handouts are available to take home. Cost of the 4-hour event is $40 and includes instruction, meal, written material, and a short introduction to meditation. Please call 908.782.7101 for next class dates.

Visit Good Eats at Sally's for a recipe that has been used in the classes.
