TABITHA BROWN: COOKING FROM THE SPIRIT
Join bestsellling author and popular actress Tabitha Brown for an evening celebrating her first cookbook, Cooking From the Spirit, that will not only serve as a remedy for the body, but a restorative for the soul.
Tab lived with a terrible undiagnosed illness from more than a year a half before she was finally able to find a way to stop the chronic pain - a vegan diet. The increasingly popular lifestyle change was near-miraculous, inspiring Tab to start sharing her favorite plant-based recipes with millions of others, so that they too might improve their own lives.
Take the first step into your own happier, healthier life by attending Tab's special events (including a few secret tips and tricks that didn't make it into the book) that will leave you feeling hungry...and energized to eat right!
