Wheelchair user, Arash, to demonstrate many benefits of cooking with vegetables on Dec. 15

“Arash has got me back in the kitchen, reclaiming my love of cooking." It’s comments like that we receive from members of the SCI community that help give wheelchair user, Arash Bayatmakou, the passion for his cooking demonstrations. Coming up on Tues., Dec. 15th at 5 p.m. PST, he has developed another fun and innovative way of “Cooking with Vegetables” that promises to wet your appetite for all the possibilities that exist when it comes to the benefits of preparing vegetable-based meals. Arash will show how they are super easy to cook and very inexpensive and nutritious for those with a spinal cord injury. You can register for this session HERE.

In this lively and engaging session, you can also expect Arash to discuss the many ways vegetables can be incorporated into your everyday diet as well as sharing a few of his favorite vegetables, why he likes them and discuss the versatility with different style of cooking they offer, and of course, a couple of recipes that he’ll prepare during the session.

This free virtual presentation is part of “NorCal SCI Presents: Virtual is the New Reality Series”, funded through a grant from the Reeve Foundation. Once you register, you will immediately receive a confirmation e-mail from us which you should keep to access the virtual event.
