The "Fabulous Fats" Workshop will help consumers get smart about nutrition label reading for saturated fat, cholesterol -- and now trans fat -- and their health. They will learn which fats need to be in the diet, which should be eaten minimally, and why. Practical demonstrations will show how-to use a variety of all natural fats in cooking, baking and as finishing oils in new and creative everyday recipes for the whole family. This fun and unique experience also includes a tasting of an assortment of organic cold pressed, extra-virgin olive oils from Greece, Italy and California and of oils from fruits, nuts and seeds.
