The classes have been organized by Chava Kronen and the nine-year-old meditation and service group she is a member of. This is its biggest and most ambitious service project yet, says Kronen. Funds raised will benefit Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi’s (also know as Ammachi) service projects in India. Ammachi won the United Nation’s Gandhi-King Non-Violence award this year, and works to provide pensions for Indian widows as well as affordable general housing, among other service projects. Ammachi has groups all over the world. Visit www.ammachi.org for more information on the specific proj- ects and the organiza- tion. The classes will be taught by native Indian chefs and John Duran other experts, and will feature dishes such as Pakodas (Indian vegetable fritters), chutney, curries, Indian rice pudding, green beans with coconut (Thoran) and Thai green pa- paya salad. The classes are $25 each, with discounts available, and will be held in different peo- ple’s homes. The price of the class includes the prepared meal. Contact Kronen at 689- 0634 for more information or to register.

VEGGIES ON THE MOVE Lane County Food Coalition (LCFC) jumpstarted the grow- ing season with a rally at the first Farmer’s Market of the season last Saturday. The or- ganization is an advo- cacy and publicity group for local farms and growers. Chill winds and sleety rain didn’t deter the group, which paraded around in vegetable costumes, listened to speakers and sang together. Keep an eye out for the LCFC directory of local growers, coming out soon. BIG NIGHT Spring brings out Eugene’s finest chefs to the eagerly anticipated Chef’s Night Out. This annual benefit for FOOD for Lane County, held Tuesday April 15 from 6:30 pm ’til 9 pm, features Eugene’s finest restaurants and local vineyards in a six- story extravaganza at the Hult Center. Tickets are $50 per person. Last year’s se- lections began with chocolate truffles and worked up to a whole roast pig, stopping along the way for microbrews and wines, seafood ravioli, sushi, Cioppino, crab and crayfish strudels, tiramisu, spicy Thai chicken wings, blackberry BBQ salmon and Lamb Tagine. This year’s event promises to be even more extravagant, including marti- nis and a greater selection of restaurants. Call 682-5000 for tickets, starve yourself the day before, and get there early to beat the rush. ew
