Learn to seek healthier options when the cravings hit! Food that sates "the munchies" can taste delicious and provide lasting energy without producing the typical maladies associated with packaged snacks: dehydration, bloating, mood swings, and hunger.

Michelle McKenzie will teach you the science and philosophy behind snacking well and will help you create both sweet and savory options for all your snacking needs.

In class we will make:

Spiced Chickpea "Popcorn"
Toasted Fenugreek Persian-Style Omelet
Miso-Tahini Spread, Lavash, Pea Shoots
Zucchini, Golden Raisin + Olive Oil Bread
Labne with Toasted Seeds + Honeycomb
