Food as Medicine- Day 2

Today we had lectures on Phytonutrients, Prenatal Nutrition, and Laboratory Assessment. Also two cooking demonstrations. We learned to make 2 kinds of sauerkraut- one from beets and another from a Salvadoran recipe to go with papusas.  Lots of fun. They also served another spectacular lunch (we get all the recipes in the syllabus package so I'll be dishing some new dishes when we get back). 

For dinner, Linda and I went to a restaurant she found in her ramblings today - an entirely gluten-free Mexican restaurant called Verde Cocina! House made corn tortillas and they even had gluten-free beer - a real treat since haven't had a beer in over a year and it's 85 degrees out here. Good foraging on Linda's part and totally in keeping with the theme of the conference.
