Like many other chronic conditions, heart disease can be prevented or managed through diet and lifestyle adjustments. In honor of Healthy Heart Month at the Center for Health & Wellbeing, Chef and Culinary Nutrition Educator Jenny Breen will demonstrate three recipes full of flavor and fun while also sharing how they can be heart healthy. Chef Breen will also discuss simple techniques and interesting combinations to get the most out of your seasonal ingredients. This cooking demonstration will be an opportunity for you to explore new and creative approaches to integrating whole foods into your life.

By participating in this program, you can expect to learn:

  • new, nutritious recipes;
  • how food contributes to your heart health and wellbeing;
  • and how healthy food and cooking can be easy, accessible, fun and delicious!

This program will cover the following recipes:

  • Thai noodle bowls with peanut (or sesame) sauce
  • Stuffed cabbage rolls with lemony dill sauce
  • Tempeh ragout over creamy polenta
