Patti Radakovich, Detroit area vegan cook, author, teacher, and healthy lifestyle consultant, is offering a new class: “Valentine's Day Sweets & Treats – Beyond Chocolate.” Patti (also known as VeggiePatti) has created great-tasting, healthy Valentine’s Day treats and will teach participants how to make them for friends, family, and sweethearts .
VeggiePatti focuses on all-natural whole food and plant-based ingredients, and pairs simple combinations to make food that is bursting with flavor. In this class, she will demonstrate how to make healthy treats that are gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, egg-free, and refined-sugar-free! Even those who do eat these ingredients can learn how to make healthier treats and how to use fruit as a natural sweetener. Both cooked and raw treats will be made and there will be an opportunity for hands-on experience. Food samples and recipes will be provided.
The class will be held at Total Health Foods, 2938 Biddle Ave. in Wyandotte on Saturday, February 9, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Please note: Because of the use of fruit, this class may not be appropriate for diabetics. Space is limited, so please RSVP to veggiepatti@gmail.com or 734-246-1208. Cost is $25. For more information, please visit VeggiePatti.com.

She published her first cookbook, “Simple Joy in Simple Foods,” last January. The book features gluten-free, vegan recipes and is sold on Amazon.com as well as at Total Health Foods in Wyandotte and NutriFoods in Royal Oak.
