Ladner's Jini Aroon will lead a new cooking class focusing on kale this Saturday at Earthwise Society in Boundary Bay.
Kale and Hardy will include demonstrations and go over simple, easy recipes.
Earthwise organic grower/educator Charlotte Konken says it will be a farm to table type of experience.
Class members will be going into the farm, harvesting some kale, talking
about how it grows and taking it from the field to the table, she explains.
Aroon notes kale can provide affordable nutrition for everybody.
"Kale is a very valuable plant that is being rediscovered in North America," she says.
The vegetable is very dense in nutrient content, Aroon says, adding people are able to grow it themselves.
It's rich in iron, potassium, calcium and magnesium, she says.
"It's got everything." Aroon, who founded the Ladner Community Kitchen, is a longtime cooking instructor who's taught through Delta Continuing Education for over 20 years. Healthylicious Eating is the title of her latest cookbook.
Kale and Hardy takes place from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Earthwise, 6400-3rd Ave.
To register call Earthwise at 604-946-9828.
