WHY An advocate for sustainable living, are you? Then pull your chair up to Michael’s table and begin by sustaining yourself.

WHAT Michael Sieverts has consulted with Alice Waters and worked at Moosewood Restaurant, known for its best-selling vegetarian cookbooks. For Sieverts, it’s all about inspiring people, especially those who live alone, to cook well with quality ingredients that are as local and healthy as possible—so his classes are as rich with shopping and planning advice as they are in technical instruction.

WHO Anyone interested in cooking and local food foraging techniques that support eating for pleasure and immune-system-enhancing health.
