La Jolla college student launches vegetarian cooking workshops
\nLa Jolla resident and viral food blogger, Erica Barry, has launched a new community initiative called SweetRoots Kitchen, which will feature a new workshop series to help girls ages 8 to18 explore the benefits of vegetarian cooking for nutrition, health, and leadership. Barry is not new to the innovative food space. Her recipes and photographs have been featured by Martha Stewart Online, BuzzFeed, Food 52, The Kitchn, The Huffington Post, and Fox News Magazine. Her first free workshop, “Totally Raw-some: Raw Vegan Recipe Workshop” will take place at the La Jolla Riford Library on Saturday, Aug. 25 from 2 to 3 p.m. “This is going to be one “raw-some” event that you won\u2019t want to miss,” said Barry. Those interested in attending can register at sweetroots kitchen.org.
\nIn the upcoming workshop series, girls ages 8-18 will learn fundamental culinary techniques and concepts, taste a wide variety of ingredients and dishes, and explore a range of topics including the environmental and health benefits of a vegetarian diet. ”
\nWe believe that within each girl exists a confident leader, gracious team player, brilliant entrepreneur, and creative chef,” said Barry. This month\u2019s workshop focuses on raw, vegan snacks. Fudge brownie energy bites, zesty lemon hummus, and raw granola go far beyond celery and carrot sticks. Mayor Faulconer, Bry\u00a0reopen Doyle Community Park

The total project cost is approximately $255,000 funded in partnership with the Doyle Park and Recreation Council.\u00a0
