Elkhart General Registered Dietitian to Provide Cooking Demonstration at Farmers Market
November 30, 2009

ELKHART, IN – Elkhart General is offering a free cooking demonstration titled “Mindful Cooking, Mindful Eating During the Holidays” on Friday, December 11th at 12:00pm in the Countryside Kitchen on the 2nd floor of the American Countryside Farmers Market in Elkhart.

Eating during the holiday season is often laden with guilt rather than joy. Schedules may become more hectic, which can increase stress and reduce pleasure during gatherings. Elkhart General Registered Dietitian, Melissa Freer-Smith, will provide simple mindfulness techniques during food preparation and eating to help you slow down and refocus during the holiday season. A cooking demonstration using a quick recipe will be included. All participants will receive a copy of the recipe for their own kitchen.

No registration is required, but seating is limited. For more information, call Elkhart General Community Relations at (574) 523-3303 or visit www.egh.org.
