Wednesday, Jan. 27, 5:30 PM – 7:00 PM. Food is Medicine: Eating to Reduce Inflammation. $40.00 per household.

Yes, food is medicine! What better time than the new year to begin making decisions helping your body maintain optimum health and a commitment to well-being. Join us monthly for health-focused cooking with Lisa Powell, registered and licensed dietician nutritionist. You’ll create delicious dishes that support the best nutritional practices based on scientific knowledge.

This month, Lisa and Chef Kyle Nottingham focus on eating to reduce inflammation, a natural process helping your body heal and defend itself from harm that can also occur in much more silent ways, where you don’t even know it’s happening. Fatigue and pain are classic indicators there’s too much inflammation in your body.

Learn one of the best ways to prevent or reduce inflammation is through foods that help turn it down. Choosing a balanced diet, cutting out processed products and boosting your intake of whole, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant-rich foods can help you feel healthier and reduce the risk of many diseases.

On the menu: Seared grass-fed striploin steak, caramelized onion and mushroom ragu and oven roasted sweet potatoes and a walnut gremolata.
