Good Grub

Clean living means clean food, but a gal can’t live on boiled brocolli alone.

We’re expanding our healthy horizons now that Café Juicy Lotus offers organic and vegan five-course cooking classes taught by macrobiotic foodies (and mother-daughter team) Gigi Cohen and Jessica Watters. While waxing poetic about good cholesterol and better digestion, the ladies hold court over seaweed carrot salad, quinoa roasted pear cake and almond milk lattes. We learned how to make bean soup from scratch, and for tasty tzaziki, why tofu works wonders in lieu of dairy.

Move over Gwyneth, there’s a new goop in town.

$50/class or $300/10 classes, 6:30 to 9 p.m., Tuesdays and Thursdays, Café Juicy Lotus, 5688 Monkland Ave., Montreal, 514-487-7575, www.cafejuicylotus.com
