... was so wonderful!! Linda Hoffman who runs "Come Back to the Table" had introduced us to healthy, seasonal, fresh ingredients cooking while incorporting and sharing her thoughts on allergies, and responding to our concerns. She has opened up my eyes to the importance of healthy fat/oil, which are so important in building healthy cell membranes, some facts about some legumes/grains, how to shop smart, so much more topics I can't possibly list them all right here.Linda has mentioned that despite the wide range of our allergies, her regular clients (non-food-allergy clients) cook up something that was not that much different from what we cooked tonight. We had fish, chicken, lamb, beef, beets, lettuce, tomato, red and green peppers, pineapple, cranberry, garlic, coconut oil, grape oil, kale, onion, mushroom, brussel sprouts, grapefruit, murey (?) lemon, lime,
sun dried tomato, corn grits, herbs, brocolli, coconut milk, sea salt & pepper...It was so nice to be in her serious kitchen to get better ideas on how to cook, select, store. Even her entertainment center was filled with dishes etc... not because of food allergies, but because she (must) enjoys it. I feel I got so much information at one night without having to wade through the overwhelming amount of information out there. She's already done that part for us. An interesting closeness and connection I felt, over interest in eating healthy, with an awareness that food is important and that is what builds our bodies and affects our souls.
Thank you for the fabulous night Linda, thank you so much for setting this up Catherine, and thanks to the 6 other ladies that signed up tonight - all who made the evening very speical.
