VSDC is excited to announce our upcoming online cooking class with Dr. Ruby Lathon, as part of our Eating Vegan series. The online vegan cooking demonstration is on Saturday, December 11th, from 11 am to 1 pm.
**Please sign up early so we can plan for a spectacular event.**
Dr. Ruby is an award-winning engineer turned certified holistic plant-based nutritionist and wellness consultant after her own journey battling cancer. As a chef, she is now offering prepared delicious organic vegan food through her meal delivery service and pop-ups in the DMV area and Albuquerque (www.RubyRedsVegan.com) – also a VSDC Green Rewards member. She will be guiding us in making three of her fabulous fall recipes, then answering our questions. In this class, Ruby will show us how to make a baked classic sweet potato pie with coconut cream and also a recipe for a vegan ‘crab’ dip.
(We will plan another class to exercise New Year’s resolutions where Ruby will demo a string bean casserole and also vegan energy bars on Sat, Jan 15th.)
The recipe for this class will be sent by Thu Dec 9th, so you can prepare and cook along if you like. The link to the zoom session will be included as well.
The fee for this class is only $20 per person (and full VSDC members will get a bonus – we will add 3 months to your membership!). We will plan for a max of about 25 attendees so please RSVP ASAP. It’s first-come, first-serve, payment will be required in advance, and sorry but no refunds will be possible. Proceeds from these classes will benefit Dr. Ruby and her important work to promote a healthy vegan diet and lifestyle.
As you RSVP, you will receive payment info and be expected to make online payment via paypal / credit card. If you have questions or need assistance, please post a message below so we can see it and reply there too.
