CLEARLAKE – The Lake County Community Co-op and Wild About Books will Laura Stec, author of “Cool Cuisine: Taking the Bite Out of Global Warming,” at a special event on Saturday, June 13.

Stec will speak from 10 a.m. to noon in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive, Clearlake.

Lake County Community Co-op members and the general public are invited to meet author and chef, Laura Stec, and learn important ways on how to change our “global warming diet” to “cool cuisine.” The best part is, as you move to a diet that counters the biggest environmental problem of our time, you'll also enjoy better health and get more pleasure out of food.

Stec is an author and chef, trained at the Culinary Institute of America, the School of Natural Cookery and the Vega Macrobiotic Study Center.

She is culinary health educator for Kaiser Permanente Medical Centers, former chef for Kaiser’s organic farmer’s market and consulting chef at The International Culinary School at The Art Institute of California.

This is a fabulous opportunity to meet Stec and hear ways about how you can make meaningful steps towards a more sustainable lifestyle. Her book will also be available for purchase. For more information, call 707-994-1618
