Hi All,

This evening was the last of my summer cooking classes, with the Thai Farm to Table Class. We started the evening with a hands-on demo, and all made a Thai Summer Roll with Spicy Peanut Sauce. That was followed up with a Thai Kale, Cucumber and Tomato Salad with Cilantro Lime Dressing, all harvested from the on-site organic garden. For the main course, we had Coconut Encrusted Tofu with Mango Salsa, and Vegetable Panang Curry served with Saffron Rice, also using vegetables from the garden. For dessert, we made a Gluten Free Peach Cobbler, and served it with Coconut Milk Ice Cream. Yum!! It was all so much fun and so delicious!! Stay tuned for my upcoming Fall class schedule.

My guest this week on the Progressive Radio Network is Brenda Sanders, a food justice advocate in the Baltimore area, and co-founder of Vegan SoulFest, a festival that celebrates culture and the vegan lifestyle. Brenda promotes veganism in her social justice work because it’s a lifestyle that addresses health issues, environmental destruction and animal abuse, while giving individuals the ability to effect real, positive change in the world. The annual Vegan SoulFest is coming up this Saturday, August 20th, at the Baltimore City Community College. Please join us on this Thursday, to learn more about Brenda’s work and the upcoming Vegan SoulFest!
