May 24: 7.00-8.45pm. If you decided to become vegetarian,
what would happen to, you? Would your health suffer? Would you be condemned
to,
eating boring food?
Would your family leave home? In this, National Vegetarian Week special,
we've assembled a, powerful panel of experts to answer such questions.,
There's a French chef, a nutritionist and a housewife famed for, her
family cooking. What they have in common is that they've made what is
being called the "healthiest food choice of all". An interesting recipe
for discussion and plenty of food for thought, Jean Marc Vialert comes
from a family of chefs and has been cooking for 35 years. He specialises
in pastry, sweets and ice cream and considers,
himself to be hugely fortunate in being able to earn a livelihood at
something, he loves doing. Sagu Rajaratham comes from Malaysia and has
been a mental health nurse for 31 years. She took up a course in Nutrition
in an attempt to heal an illness, without surgery and she now uses what
she learnt to help others. Charoo Maroo is a housewife and part-time
pharmacist. She loves cooking, with fresh ingredients and is keen to
promote the benefits of vegetarianism, for body and mind. Her priority
has always been to ensure that the family eat, well and eat
together.
May 27: 2.00-5.30pm. Many have toyed with the idea of adopting a meat-free
diet,
but haven't quite made the leap. Perhaps the idea appeals but you
don't know what you'd miss or how to create a balanced and satisfying
diet. During National Vegetarian Week we've invited some victorious Veggies
to celebrate their lifestyle by sharing their stories and demonstrating
their most delicious dishes. Tasters for you to try.
More information for both events on 020 8727 3350. How
to find us: The nearest tube is 12 minutes walk away at Dollis Hill on
the Jubilee line (Chapter
Road exit). Bus routes: 226, 206 to Pound Lane and 98, 6, 52, 302,
