SUMMER GLOBAL FLAVORS| SATURDAY, JUNE 20 | 4-6 PM | $40 | INSTRUCTOR:  LISA BOESEN

Travel through three vibrant food cultures in this plant‑forward class that blends approachable education with bountiful tastings. We’ll explore how South American brightness, Caribbean coastal flavors, and Asian simplicity come together in light, summer‑ready dishes built around vegetables, grains, and legumes. Students will learn practical techniques, taste globally inspired bites, and discover how different traditions create naturally balanced, feel‑good meals that fit beautifully into everyday cooking.

Lisa is a Fort Collins–based speaker, award‑winning author, and plant‑forward chef with a science‑savvy, age‑positive approach to feeling good through food. After forty years in healthcare, she now helps people cook with more confidence, curiosity, and joy - no perfection required.

Trained in everything from pasta‑making in Italy to plant‑based culinary arts, she blends real‑life stories, gentle humor, and practical tips that make plant‑forward eating feel doable. Her cookbook, Food ELEVATED, won a Gold Medal from the Colorado Independent Book Publishers Association.

You don’t have to be vegan to learn from her - just curious and a little hungry. As she likes to say, “Let’s make this delicious, shall we?”
