The Mediterranean diet has been proven by cardiologists, nutritionists, and dieticians alike
to be a natural, healthy combatant to heart disease. At the same time this timeless diet, rich in
fruit, vegetables and grains, helps lower HDL cholesterol levels, and control Type 2 diabetes.
But the thing most people don’t know is that an authentic Mediterranean diet tastes great!
Claudia Hanna will be teaching us how to prepare simple, organic meals that will please your entire family – and help keep you healthy and fit for life.
Join us in this interactive demonstration.
We will be making Tabbouleh and Tzatziki along with a Mediterranean dessert.
Be sure to bring your cutting board!

The Friendly City Food Co-op has the freshest produce, the best hot food bar and delicious local baked goods. The staff are amazing and I look forward to every visit! - Vada Kelley
Ownership means sustaining and growing what we have built. I’m proud to be a co-op owner.
– Christina von Rotz-Brunk
I love stopping by the co-op for lunch. Some days I mix-and-match the hot bar with the salad bar, other days I grab a Turkey Chipotle Wrap. Either way, it’s always great and I’m able to grab a fresh cup of organic coffee to go. – Mike Miriello
We were enthusiastic about the co-op from the beginning. The co-op sells local food, it is downtown, and there are a lot of healthy food options. I just love everything about the Friendly City Food Co-op. - Sherwyn, Owner for 5 years
