Versatile, tasty, available all year round, sea vegetables are a rich source of minerals,
vitamins and fiber. Their health benefits are legendary: regular consumption has been
linked to reduced rates of some illnesses and, in sufficient quantity, some sea vegetables
are purported to help fight the effects of radiation, plus they're great for the hair
and skin. Alaria, arame, dulse, hiziki, kelp, nori, kombu, sea palm, wakame... learn
which are best to flavor soups and which cradle sushi, which complement bean dishes
and which sparkle in salads. Join Leslie Cerier, co-author of Sea Vegetable Celebration,
for this upbeat and up-close look at vegetables from the sea. Quick Miso Soup with Dulse
and Spicy Thai Noodles; Vegetarian Ginger Tempeh Sushi; Arame Vegetable Egg Rolls;
Marinated Japanese Land and Sea Vegetable Salad; Sea Palm Stir Fry with Bhutanese Red
Rice; Fried Dulse; and Dried Nettles-Kelp-Sesame Seed Gomasio. (The egg roll wrappers
contain some egg whites.)

Eating Your Way to Stronger Bones
Taught in New York City on Thursday, September 11th, 2008

An adequate supply of calcium is necessary to build and maintain strong,
healthy bones. Of course, many simple and delicious foods supply this essential
mineral - beans, leafy greens, soy foods, sea vegetables, nuts, seeds and a few
special grains. Yet some foods increase our calcium needs and others inhibit its
uptake, while others actually steal it from our teeth and bones. To cut through
calcium confusion and discover delicious ways to nourish your bones, join Leslie
Cerier for this fun and informative class. You will learn which foods to eat and
which to avoid, how to make creamy sauces without a speck of dairy, and how to
mix and match grains with vegetables for maximum calcium absorption. Japanese
Rainbow Salad with Arame and Sesame-Ume Vinaigrette; Leafy Greens with Garlic
Tahini Sauce; Tofu Stroganoff with Parsley-Garlic Ribbons; Chickpea Vegetable
Pate; Pan-Seared Coconut Teff Fritters; and Fresh Almond Milk & Raspberry
Smoothies.
