Just in time for the holidays, learn how to turn your kitchen into an environmentally-friendly

space! In this class, we explore the different ways our kitchen can help us become more eco-friendly and reduce our carbon footprint, especially as the holidays approach. We discuss waste reduction tips, explore the concepts of reusing, recycling and composting, and cook two delicious dishes made with plant parts that usually end up in the compost bin.

During this hands-on two-hour workshop with chef and food educator Paula Thomas, you will learn:

• Ideas and recipes to use parts of the plants we usually discard

• Meal prep habits to help you utilize the same ingredients in different dishes

• How to cook beans from scratch in batches to help you with meal prep

• Tips to reduce food packaging waste

• Habits to help you reduce food waste

Please note: Suggested workshop fee is $50. The material costs for this workshop are $20. Our pay-what-you-can pricing (with a minimum of $20) applies for this workshop.
