“LET food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”
That’s the motto of one group of local health professionals which is offering the community the chance to learn recipes designed to help people’s body look after itself, heal and stay in good health.
Nurses Cathy Oehlmann, Brenda Browne and Catherine Cazaly will present cooking demonstrations using plant based, dairy free and sugar free ingredients over three Tuesday evenings on the 10, 17 and 24 February.
Ms Cazaly said the trio all share a common interested in food and health and have all struggled with health issues in the past.
“We have for many years provided these cooking demonstrations but have recently decided that the greatest need was to offer suitable recipes for those who suffer from allergy and lifestyle-related diseases,” she said.
“We offer a selection of recipes.
“All of them use natural sugars such as honey, fruit or coconut sugar in replacement of cane sugar, all the recipes are dairy free and we do offer many gluten free options.
“Where a recipe isn’t gluten free we can offer alternatives such as almond meal or rice flour choices.”
Each evening will consist of several recipe demonstrations, a mini health talk, and often the most highly anticipated, a taste test.
The classes will run from 6.30pm to 8.30pm at Warwick Seventh Day Adventist Church Hall, 113 Fitzroy Street.
Cost is $9 per night or $5 for pensioners.
