After the end of Veganuary, a month-long challenge in January encouraging non-vegans to eat a plant-based diet, the Health, Environment and Animal Rights club wanted to put together an event to inspire people to continue their plant-based eating habits past January.
On Feb. 25, the Health, Environment and Animal Rights (H.E.A.R.) club hosted a virtual cooking event in partnership with the Environment Affairs Board (EAB). The lovely Chef Emma West of Satellite Santa Barbara guided Zoom attendees through a delicious vegan cooking demonstration. West loves sourcing ingredients from local farmersâ markets and using fresh ingredients whenever possible. While cooking, she highlighted amazing produce from the Santa Barbara area, including vibrant beets and beautiful carrots.Â
