Forget Cooking!

This is copied from the SJCPL blog. Hi, my name is Lori, and I am not a culinary goddess. After kitchen mishaps both at home and at the workplace, I have earned the endearing nickname of Scorch, mainly due to scorched or rather, carcinogenic popcorn that brought in the fire department one afternoon. My mother, in her attempts to domesticate her youngest daughter, signed us up for a class at the new Martin's Supermarket on Heritage Drive in Mishawaka. The title of the class was Forget Cooking! An Introduction to Raw Food Cuisine. Here's a link for other classes and past recipes: http://www.martins-supermarkets.com/schoolofcooking/ Before we left for class, my father jokingly offered up the fire extinguisher. Thanks, Dad, for the vote of confidence, but we're playing with cold vegetables tonight. Everything will be fine. The class was interesting. Hosted by Chef Michele Dahms, the class was in lecture format (probably to preserve this gorgeous supermarket from popcorn mishaps). We were greeted with bottled water, an apron, a plate, fork, and spoon for sampling. Also included are five recipes and a list of ingredients to make them. The class lasted an hour and a half. We observed, asked questions, and sampled the food. Did you know you can make pudding by mixing avacados and bananas? Did you know you can make Chocolate Mousse out of avacados? I learned something tonight. There's hope for me after all. Meanwhile, if you are interested in sampling other vegan cuisine, check out Vegan Planet: 400 Irresistible Recipes with Fantastic Flavors from Home and Around the World by Robin Robertson at your favorite library location. Warning: you may need to turn on the stove.
