ONE OF the most constant comments Chef Manager of the UpFront Club Sharon Milburn hears from customers is. “ I wish I could cook organic food that looks and tastes like this at home”.
So in response, Sharon former chef at the famous Squirrels Vegetarian restaurant in Brisbane with over 20 years experience in creating innovative healthy cuisine will commence a series of cooking classes. They will focus on healthy organic products available from Maple Street Co-Op that will demonstrate organic food can taste and look good and not complicated to prepare.
The first class is Cooking with Quinoa
Quinoa (pronounced keen-wa) is an ancient gluten free product widely known as the mother of all grains. It is a complete protein which contains all nine essential amino acids, has more iron than other grains as well as high levels of potassium, riboflavin and B vitamins. Recipe handouts will cover ideas from breakfast, a healthy salad for lunch (pictured) and dinner ideas that are not exclusively vegetarian. Participants get to eat what they make with a complimentary glass of organic wine at the end of the class.
Sharon will be accompanied by Pascale Richy an innovative cook who is currently studying natural medicine. Pascale will provide healthy tips and nutritional handouts on Quinoa.
