I am so in joy and enjoying “Incredible Feasts with Friends” on Thursday nights at Seattle Unity. We are experimenting and learning about spices of the Eastern Mediterranean… They are wonderful!! The Lemon Aioli is awesome. Today I tried the Persian Spice Mix we made on my fav… Popcorn! It is so good to cook healthy organic food in community with friends. Lovin’ It!

Thanks, Greg! It was great fun having you cooking with us. And yes, it is a great way to meet folks quickly when they start chopping and cooking right next to you! Your participation in and addition to the group is appreciated. Having a the take home extend for a few more meals, perhaps with some suggestions for “changing it up” would definitely be a benefit for busy folks.

We appreciate you taking the time to give your feedback. We will be doing a class like this again and want it even better than before!

Thank you Terry and Jeanne!

I thought that putting the class together on your part was a very powerful work. It got a bunch of us together doing something fun. For me, relatively new to Unity it was an especially great way to get to know people. It made it so that when I came to church on Sunday, I knew quite a few more people that were meeting in the lobby after service!

Really I thought all of the details such as days, times, recipes and themes worked well. I especially liked the format of having the first five weeks as sort of the baseline getting together to cook, and then having the sixth week as a climatic celebration feast. In fact the sixth week ambience made the evening very special.

The class was super stupendously wonderful, yet I know we are all folks that want to make things even better, so I will offer that I liked having 1-2 days worth of food to take home, yet there was one week where I had like 3-4 days worth of food to take home which I was really happy about. Again, in the spirit of taking something fabulous even up a notch.

The best part for me about the class was that the atmosphere was so light and bright. Terry and Jeanne really set the tone for enthusiasm and happiness! So thank you Terry and Jeanne for that. I will look forward to the next one!

1 & 2–It was wonderful to have a say in the recipes but to have all the planning and shopping done for us…thanks, Jeanne and Terry! Everything worked…themes were interesting; the group was VERY fun…all was fantastic!
3–There was a lot of information covered: nutrition, ethnic spices, uses for the sauces, modifications. Maybe some of these ideas/categories could be summarized in a “helpful hints” page on your website?
4–I really enjoyed getting to explore so many new ingredients and spices; it was delightful that much of the food was a hit with my teens. And I loved how there were no mistakes…just chances to improvise and adjust!
5–Adult learning is all about relevant, hands-on, fun experiences. This was an excellent, productive use of our time and met the criteria of being excellent adult learning. The ambiance was very inviting and communal…well done, Terry and Jeanne!

Sheila, You've been "figuring out your food" for many years and by process of elimination, you're finding what works for you. I don't know if this resource is for you - It has done wonders for me! The To Quiet Inflammation Diet, by Kathy Abascal builds healthy eating around an elimination diet that sorts out the foods in our diets that our bodies do not agree with. Then gradually, by adding back in foods by choice to see which ones our bodies can tolerate or don't, one is able to make a food plan that is "personalized" and healthy for you. She has classes in the Seattle area and her books are for sale on Amazon.

Looks wonderful! Mouth watering! Wish my tummy would agree with my brain, but have great difficulty with the simplest things. I’ll keep an eye on your project and try to figure out how I can make it work for me. Right now, lots of plain, non-fat yogurt, rice, eggs, Cream of Rice cereal, graham crackers ??, peanut butter and some chicken. Allergic to nuts, tried that route a few months ago, and nearly stopped breathing! It looks like you are having a lot of fun – keep up the good work.
Love you!!!!
