The Gift of Spice Cooking Series with Holly Sutter & Plowshares — Part 3: Masala? Masala.

Garam Masala translates as hot/warm spices. Originating from India, it is used to balance the energetics of foods and climate with individual digestion and circulation needs. In this class you can expect to learn the art of creating a custom garam masala and tips on storage, and maximizing taste and aroma. You will receive a small container of Garam Masala, and a recipe to take home.

This is a class from the 5-part series, The Gift of Spice, created by Functional Medicine Health Coach Holly Sutter, and hosted by Plowshares. This series is designed to educate and open our eyes to the range of everyday medicines in our kitchens. Spices contain powerful micronutrients called polyphenols. Polyphenols help us combat harmful free radicals, decreasing oxidative stress and inflammation. In this series, we will harness a range of spices available in our everyday lives to uplift, warm, and accentuate health.

Tickets are $50. Get 20% off when you register for all five classes with code: SeriesTickets — Register here!
