On Thursday, April 24, at 6pm, Manchester District Library will host Deborah Bliss from Smiling Jim’s Organic Seasonings for a class on healthy cooking with spices and herbs in the City Room. All ages are welcome.

Participants can sample grilled pork chops with mustard sauce and onion pancakes made with Smiling Jim’s Organic Seasonings’ low-sodium and sugar-free seasoning blends. Deborah will demonstrate how to create the sauce at the presentation. New sugar-free and no-sodium seasonings in the form of a dip for vegetables and hors d’oeuvres will also be presented. Deborah will also discuss the health benefits of purchasing locally raised meats and health risks related to GMO foods.
