Join Andrea Berman to learn how and why eating seasonally can enhance the strength of your physical body and the flavor of your food. You will enjoy a hearty seasonal winter meal that consists of Creamy Winter Squash and Carrot Puree; Celery Root Mash; Hearty Kale and White Beans; Honey Roasted Roots; Sautéed Brussels Sprouts and Cabbage with Balsamic and Cranberry Reduction; Stuffed Acorn Squash with Quinoa, Turkey and Herbed Turkey Gravy; and Braised Oxtail

Controlling Candida


Millions of us are unwilling hosts to candida (yeast overgrowth), and the simple solution awaits us in our own kitchens. When this normally friendly microorganism surges out of control, symptoms can include skin rashes, food allergies, digestive problems, frequent colds and flu, migraines, and even chronic fatigue syndrome. As long as systemic candida is present, the immune system will be overwhelmed and subject to breakdown. In this informative and upbeat class, you’ll discover how to recover from this condition and, better yet, how to prevent it from recurring. Join the inimitable Andrea Beaman and learn which foods encourage an overgrowth, why antibiotics provide only temporary relief, and how to prepare delicious dishes to restore harmony. Creamy Broccoli Soup with Chives; Fresh Herb and Baby Greens Salad with Apple Cider Vinaigrette and Cultured Vegetables; Sautéed Spicy Gingered Chicken with Sugar Snap Peas, Red Peppers and Chinese Cabbage; Quinoa Pilaf with Shallots and Shiitakes; and Gluten-Free Almond Butter Cookies.
