Allow doctors and chefs to show you the benefits of using alternate nourishing BBQ recipes and explain why it’s a good fit for your heart. Register now for this fun and free culinary experience! Friends and family members are also welcome to join this educational and tasting experience.

This one-hour class will be held on Thursday, June 7 from 5:30-6:30 p.m. in the Conference Center on the Garden Level, at St. John’s Regional Medical Center (1600 N. Rose Ave. in Oxnard, CA 93030).

“You will discover how tasty healthy foods and new recipes with seasonings can be, for you and your family,” said Suzanne Soppe, RSM, Health Educator at St. John’s Regional Medical Center. “The opportunity for our participants to learn from this cooking demonstration encourages a healthier lifestyle, while also being fun and informative.”

This summer session will introduce alternate flavors to salt and why it matters. Attendees will also learn about tasty food options that increase fiber and that are low in fat, plus other cooking techniques.

• Manoj Khatore, MD, Cardiologist
