A series of four Indian and Thai cooking
classes begins on Saturday, April 26. 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.

All kinds of raw food cooking classes
are available in Eugene this spring. The
Eugene Raw Foods community will be re-
suming its free monthly Introduction to

each month at the Red Barn (upstairs) at 6
pm. Registration is required either by e-mail
at raweugene@mindspring.com or by call-
ing 463-0800. The class includes handouts,
questions answered and info for people new
to raw and vegan cuisine.
Saturday, April 19, is the first seminar of
two offered by professional chef John Duran
on raw food preparations. The first class cov-
ers nutrition information and recipes, the
second one, on May 3, is called “Apply Your
New Skills to Build Your Favorite Meals”
and offers more recipes, including Not Tuna
Salad, Chocolate Silk Decadence, cream of
zucchini soup and more.
The classes cost $60. To register, e-mail
jdkit@efn.org or call 607-9249.
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.
