About Food as Medicine
Our Food as Medicine class series pairs a local chef with a physician or registered dietitian for a demonstration-style culinary health experience, where the chef prepares a three-course, plant-based menu while the medical expert shares evidence-based insights on how the ingredients support long-term health and disease prevention.
Guests engage with both experts throughout the class and enjoy a tasting of each course: an appetizer, entrée, and dessert
