About this Event

Interested in bringing more plant-forward meals into your kitchen?

Join us in Kitsilano—or tune in from home—for a special hybrid cooking seminar and live demo featuring the Choices Nutrition Team.

In this engaging session, we'll showcase simple, creative ways to highlight fresh, seasonal BC ingredients by preparing an authentic Japanese eggplant and tofu stir-fry alongside a simple plant-based dessert. You'll discover how everyday ingredients can be transformed into nourishing, flavourful meals that are easy to recreate at home.

Alongside the demo, the Choices Nutrition Team will share practical tips for incorporating more plant-based foods into your routine, discuss the benefits of eating seasonally, and explore how plant-forward eating can support both health and enjoyment. Plant-forward eating doesn't mean eating exclusively vegetarian—it's simply about adding more plants to your plate in a flexible, balanced way.
