Edible education

NEWBURGH — Culinary nutrition educator and certified nutrition counselor Holly Shelowitz loves to teach people how to shop well, cook well and eat well.
In turn, she founded Nourishing Wisdom Nutrition. It's edible education.
Join Chef Shelowitz for an evening to remember as she gives the audience a guided tour of quality food, preparation and presentation.
During her lecture, "Creating a Rhythm in your Kitchen Culinary Nutrition," with demonstration and sampling, she will explore true nourishment of body and mind.
Come to the OBTC Great Room 101 in Kaplan Hall at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 18, and learn how to have delicious nourishing food on your table and in your life with healthy eating by cooking with good, fresh ingredients that don’t break the bank and have short prep time.
Shelowitz will explain how planning can set the stage for several meals as one builds on basic, good, preferably locally grown vegetables, and one meal leads to another.
In cooperation with and supporting the efforts of Newburgh Urban Farm and Food Initiative in its community gardens project, Cultural Affairs at SUNY Orange brings this educational program to the college community and the community-at-large to show the value of good and nourishing food planning that produce delicious meals to promote health. Shelowitz will share her recipe, too.
