Winter Warm-Up: Cooking Mouthwatering, Plant-Based Comfort Food

A DHARMAKAYA CENTER RETREAT

When the temperature plummets and the wind is brisk, we all want a meal that brings comfort. But everyone’s definition of comfort is different. For some it means a nourishing bowl of soup, for some a plate of noodles—and for some a sweet treat. The good news is that every one of those dishes can be as healthy as it is comforting.  Join Chef Eytan Kurland as you learn to prepare delicious, nutrient-dense meals while embracing the joy of slowing down and cooking in community—then savoring your results. Come on your own or bring a friend. Hands-on cooking is on the menu, so class size is strictly limited to 10 people.

“The food was out of this world. It tasted like love.”

“A wonderful variety of delicious vegetarian food. I want the chef to do YouTube videos.”
