Are you curious about what it means to eat a plant-based diet? It does not mean that you are a vegetarian. Join this free two-session class to explore the practicality and health benefits of eating more plants than animals, prepare and enjoy budget-friendly recipes and learn new skills to begin taking steps to better health.

Practical Plant-Based Cooking is part of the Cooking for Health series, made possible by a $60,000 grant from the Walmart Foundation. Pen Bay Medical Center and Waldo County General Hospital would like to thank the Walmart Foundation for the grant, which will allow the Journey to Health program to offer 40 free hands-on healthy cooking classes throughout Knox and Waldo counties. The classes are designed to be accessible to everyone, with a focus on rural populations, low-income families and those with chronic health conditions like diabetes and heart disease.

Other classes in the Cooking for Health series will include:

Learn to Be Sugar Savvy
Quick & Healthy Family Meals
Eating Well with Diabetes
Heart Healthy Cooking
