"Everyday Herbs from My Mother's Kitchen Cabinet" Workshop at Florey's Dec. 3rd!

***Saturday, December 3rd, 1:30 to 2:30pm***

+++A class tuition of $39 per person is requested by the host, Jie Feng.+++
(10% of class proceeds will be donated to the Antolino Family Wellness Center.)

About the workshop:

Every time I visit my mother, she makes me soup. Soup to regulate my bladder and liver functions. Soup to balance the heat in my body when I eat too much fried-food. Soup to help me feel energetic and look beautiful. If only she has a soup recipe to make me rich! My mother has a wealth of knowledge about everyday herbs that she uses in her cooking that my generation knows nothing about. She learned it from the generation before her and from reading Chinese herb books. Instead of letting this knowledge go extinct, she agreed to share this knowledge others!

Come join us for a show-and-tell of Everyday Herbs from My Mother’s Kitchen Cabinet! My mother is the teacher and I will be the translator.

+++To sign up, please email me at jiefeng@gmail.com or call me at (650) 438-3979. This will help me determine how many copies of the workbook to print. Thanks!+++
