This came in my inbox and thought I'd share it with you all here. A few months ago, I attended the fermentation workshop sponsored by Food Not Lawns (held at All Saints Church in Sunnyside) and it was very good.

More and more people are becoming aware of the health benefits of a vegetarian, organic and live-food diet. In this workshop, you’ll learn the philosophy behind eating a raw, organic diet, and receive hands-on instruction on how to prepare raw butternut squash soup, sweet potato pie, and almond milk chai. Each participant takes home two delicious dishes – a sure bet to chase your winter blues away!

Shenaqua Sookhoo-Jones had an international and vegetarian upbringing, exposing her to the healthier aspects of Indian, Cajun, French, and Chinese culinary traditions. She has transferred her knowledge of and passion for healthy and delicious food to the preparation of raw and living foods as part of her own healing journey. She takes great pleasure in sharing the culinary good news.
