ReplyDeleteWhat is the Soaking 101 class?
ReplyDeleteSoaking is a traditional method of grain, bean, nut and seed preparation that makes the nutritious more available and more digestible.
ReplyDeleteThe class will focus on adapting recipes, planning ahead and tips on making the process benefit you and your cooking style.
Kara, I'm so sad! I so want to do the classes but Fridays are one of the days I still work! If you can ever do a Monday, Wed, or Sat class keep me posted!
ReplyDeleteJessica, I am bummed and will miss you at these. I will surely be doing classes on other days soon. I'll keep ya posted.
ReplyDeleteKara, I have a question about soaking. I have been doing this for about three months now...thanks to your inspiration:) but I was wondering, if you cook the soaked grains, aren't you cooking the nutrition right out of them? Maybe this is a silly question.
ReplyDeleteThanks
No silly questions, this is an easy thing to be confused about with all the raw food movements becoming the next fad. Eating some foods raw is great, the enzymes and the heat sensitive vitamins...however, there are great benefits to cooking foods as well. Many nutrients are MORE available when cooked and digestion is more thorough, therefore absorption. Here is an interesting read on the subject http://www.exploringwomanhood.com/mindbodysoul/health/optimum-nutrition.htm
ReplyDeleteThanks so much:) There are so many opinions on this subject. I had been looking allot at raw, but every time I tried it I didn't feel so good. I don't eat very much meat and I feel pretty good about that. Being the Mother you just want to nourish your family inside and out, so it helps to get as much info as you can.
ReplyDeleteHave a great night!
I hear you there. It gets overwhelming with all the counter diction of information all over. Good luck to you.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I just missed this or what -- where are the classes being held?
ReplyDeleteAt my home in East Mesa.
