Tonight: April Cook and Serve! 5:30 pm
In this Cook & Serve event, Chef Linda Tyler will demonstrate how to make vegan Vegetable Lasagna with a vegan Marinara Sauce. This opportunity is organized by Ashwin Prabhu, a member of the Climate-Friendly Food Committee of the Climate Reality Project, Portland Chapter.
|
Watch this cooking demo on Zoom at 5:30pm on Tuesday, April 20 and cook along if you like. Then, on Saturday, April 24, you can join others cooking at home to make Hearty Vegan Vegetable Lasagna for 45 people experiencing homelessness who are staying at the Clark Center. If you don't want to cook, you could help deliver what others cook to the shelter. You can make a lot or a little. If you want to contribute, but can't make the featured recipe, Ashwin can help you identify what you can make (like a side dish or Corn Chowder, for example), please sign up here.

|
If these dates won't work for you, Climate Reality will record the demo, which you can see on Climate Reality's YouTube channel. You are also encouraged to make the dishes for your family at home!
