March Vegan Cooking Class, St. Patty's "Green" Dinner & Nutrition DVD at Pines Community Center

NORTHFIELD — A vegan cooking class and dinner will be held at Pines Community Center on Thursday, March 21 starting at 5:30 p.m.

"Since our class is just a few days after St. Patrick's Day, we'll be making a very green dinner. But the color comes from naturally green foods, not artificial green dye #2," said cooking instructor Louisa Dell'Amico.

On the menu is Cannellini & Asparagus Hummus w/Crudites; Brilliant Broccoli Salad w/Green Goddess Dressing; Spinach & Artichoke Pie (Spanakopita); Ginger-Macadamia-Coconut Carrot Cake, and Herbal Tea.

"I have a couple other surprises up my sleeve, but I don't announce them in advance because then they wouldn't be surprises" said Dell'Amico.

She says that Dr. Michael Greger's newest DVD 'Latest in Clinical Nutrition' Volume 12 will be shown starting at 5:30 p.m. and the two-hour DVD is free for anyone who'd like to just come in and watch it. It will be shown again following the meal, although most likely not in its entirety.

The cost for the cooking class & dinner, followed by movie is $30. People should send 2 checks, $15 payable to PCC, $15 payable to L. Dell'Amico & mail together to: PCC, PO Box 262, Tilton, NH 03276. Registration deadline is Tuesday, March 19. Children 12 and under are. Cost for young adults (13-18)and students: $15 ($10/LD $5/PCC).
