Providence Health NE Hosts Providence Cooks! Program

As part of its ongoing and award-winning Providence Cooks! program campaign, Providence Health Northeast is hosting a Providence Cooks! Cooking with Tea class on Tuesday, May 2, from 6 to 8 p.m. Registered dietitian and program co-creator Kay MacInnis and her team of chefs will teach session participants how to create a deliciously healthy multicourse meal based on tea and its benefits.

States MacInnis: “With so many different healthy-eating theories on the market, one needs to know that the plan he or she is following works. That’s what the Providence Cooks! program is all about. All of its messaging on nutrition is 100 percent evidence based. As part of a healthcare system, we are held to a higher standard.” MacInnis goes on to say, “I may love coconut oil on my skin, or even in my food, but until I have the evidence to show that it is in fact beneficial for people with heart disease, I am not going to tell you that it is.” Even healthy food can be delicious. This is what Kay MacInnis, along with her team of chefs, teach program participants through their sit-down, multicourse gourmet meal educational sessions each month. Live Q&A is included as part of each session. Space is limited, so interested persons are encouraged to preregister.

Cost: $25. Location: Providence Health Northeast, 120 Gateway Corp. Blvd., Columbia. For more information, call 800-424-3627 or visit http://bit.ly/provcooks2017. See calendar section in this edition for additional class information and dates.
