A Vegetarian Culinary Adventure – The Interplay of a Nutritionist and Chef: The Roles of Grains in Vegetarian Diets
Date: Monday, February 26th, 2018
Time: 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Cost: $30
Location: Coleman Pavilion – Shuttles will be provided
Featuring Chef Cory Gheen and Nasira Burkholder-Cooley, DrPH, RDN. Whole grains have been a staple of the human diet for centuries. Despite the widespread history of grains, from rice in Asia to wheat in Europe, grains are often a subject of nutritional controversy. While it is true that overconsumption of refined grains can have unfavorable effects on health, consumption of whole grains is associated with numerous health benefits, such as reducing hypertension and protecting against atherosclerosis. For vegetarians, grains represent an important source of iron, protein, and B vitamins, and the diversity of grains offers a wide range of flavors and cuisines to explore. Through a delicious and interactive meal and presentation featuring sensational plant-based ingredients, we share practical tips and demonstrate how a vegetarian diet can be optimized with grains.

A Vegetarian Culinary Adventure – The Fork in the Road Plate: The Intersection of Flavor and Health in Plant-based Eating
Sponsored by The California Walnut Board
Date: Wednesday, February 28th, 2018
Time: 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
Cost: none
Location: Main Hall
Presented by Wendy Bazilian, DrPH, MA, RDN and Sponsored by The California Walnut Board. We face a sea of choices when it comes to our food today. And while health is important, flavor reigns when it comes to making choices about the foods we’ll consume. . . especially those we’ll eat not just once, but again and again over the course of our healthful lives. It appears that there’s a constant push-pull between navigating either toward health and away from taste or toward taste and away from (or at the expense of) health. Through a delicious and interactive meal and presentation featuring some of these elements – along with practical tips to see how plant-based eating is not an all-or-nothing proposition – we’ll see how beautifully flavor and health can intersect.
