Organic, Santa Cruz-based New Leaf Community Markets offers lots of events every month. Here are details for a couple holiday-themed ones coming up soon at the Westside location. One is a combination cooking class/social event this Friday night, and there are still a few spots available. It’s taught by Elizabeth Borelli, who I highly recommend. She’s an engaging and fun instructor, and knows a lot about cooking. I haven’t met the person facilitating the second event, but she sounds very knowledgeable!

Dinner with Friends: A Very Veggie Friends-giving with Chef Elizabeth Borelli:

5:30-7:30 p.m. Friday Nov. 14, 2014
Price: $50 per person or $90 for 2 people

Enjoy a fun Friday night in the kitchen cooking up a vegetarian feast with friends! Whether you are cooking for two or entertaining a crew, having a vegetarian option on the table is always appreciated. Join chef/cookbook author Elizabeth Borelli as she leads the class through an assortment of appetizers, side dishes, a main course and dessert that will please your entire guest list, not just the vegetarian ones. The holiday meal will be paired with a delicious wine that will bring out the flavors of the dish. Bring a “plus one” to get a discounted rate. Preregistration is required; see this link.

Healthy Holidays Store Tour:
6-7p.m. Thursday, Nov. 20, 2014
