Prerequisite: CSH 2500
This course examines vegan and vegetarian diets and the nutritional preparation of plant-based cuisines. Students explore why vegan and vegetarian diets are chosen for health, social, religious, or other reasons, with a focus on preparing meals with plant-based ingredients, modifying recipes, and determining preparation methods for highest nutritional value. Students analyze the relationship between diet and disease, and compare that for those eating exclusively plant-based cuisine to the average diet.
