Sacramento Vegan Challenge - supporting a healthy, aware and connected Sacramento community

Vegan Cooking Demos & Classes throughout Sacramento

1. RAW FOODS CLASSES by Ron at The Plum Cafe:

These raw food, plant-based classes are offered in a fun demonstration format. Many students have many questions about how to prepare raw food so this style helps guide, inform and inspire students while affording the time to ask questions.

Each raw food class ends with tasting of the days recipes and the answering of additional questions.
