The cooking demonstration and tasting features vegan menus loaded with antioxidants, phytochemicals, high fiber, low fat and healthy dairy alternatives. Healthy weight maintenance and meal planning will also be discussed. The event will be held in the Sandstone Conference Room North at Banner Good Samaritan Hospital, 1111 E.
