 Looking for inspiration with side dishes or meatless mains that are fun to cook and delicious to eat? Want meal planning ideas that will get more vegetables to your plate and help you use the vegetables you aspire to eat?  We prepare and eat amazing food in a relaxed atmosphere.  Check out past menus.

Fun:  Each day will find us on a different culinary adventure. Using the menus below as a guideline, we'll be exploring vegetable focused dishes from every continent and get to see and experiment with what's in season here in the the San Francisco Bay Area.

Healthy:   We'll make lunch and talk about different ingredients, flavors and preparations.  Meals are based on the philosophy that whole-food plant-based dishes can be tasty, filling and fun to make.
