Kitchen Divas Events

is it for vegetarians?

With enhanced knowledge of culturally based cooking, attitudes and behavior about cardiovascular, heart, and breast health and cancer risk reduction, we can heal our communities.

Kitchen Divas food demonstrations, workshops, health education, and advocacy support and encourage lifestyle change via nutrition and exercise.

The most often asked question about Kitchen Divas is – is it for vegetarians?

While we are not trying to convert folks to being a vegetarian, we are focused on increasing the fruits and vegetables in our diets. So classes and demonstrations welcome vegetarians and focus on plant-based meal preparation.

At the end of the cooking experience, participants will have participated in the preparation of and sampled food to create a menu for one complete meal.
