Community Cooking Classes at Forest Grove

By Marla Danielson, August 30, 2021

The Forest Grove Seventh-day Adventist Church has been offering free plant-based cooking classes organized and presented by church members.

At every class, a healthy and delicious meal is served, followed by a demonstration to cook the meal they just enjoyed. Any leftover food is given away as a door prize. 

Those attending are encouraged to take a free copy of the book The Ministry of Healing by Ellen G. White along with the recipes shared in each class.

Many people found the class to be helpful in transitioning to a plant-based diet. They learned the original diet was made up of fruits, nuts, grains and vegetables and is still the best diet for mankind today. Discovering it can be delicious as well as nutritious has been encouraging.

All the recipes from the class can be found at fgsda.netadvent.org.
