OXFORD - The Griffin Center for Healthy Living at Quarry Walk, 300 Oxford Road is hosting free cooking demonstrations to help individuals nourish the body through cancer oncology treatment and recovery.
These cooking classes will explore how food can support healing during cancer treatments, manage treatment side effects, and rebuild strength whether individuals are cooking for themselves or a loved one navigating cancer care.
Foods for Repair & Recovery, which discusses how lean proteins support tissue repair during and after treatment and the anti-inflammatory benefits of Omega-3s and olive oil, and features a demonstration Grilled Tuna Mediterranean Salad with Roasted Garlic Eggplant Dressing, will be Tuesday, Sept. 15 from 5-6:30 p.m.
Good for Your Appetite & Gut, which discusses how plant-based protein is easy to digest and gentle on the appetite during treatment, and features a demonstration of Roasted Tofu, Root Vegetables and Chickpeas with a Creamy Greek Yogurt Sauce, will be Sept. 29 from 5-6:30 p.m.
These events are free, but seating is limited and reservations are required.
