EJCC Live: Jane Tobias “The Good, the Bad and the Salty” du bist vas du est* – 7.30 – 9pm

24th June 2021

£5

 

* You are what you eat(translation from the Yiddish! )

In this talk, Jane will look at some of her favourite traditional Ashkenazi foods and ask the question – how healthy are these foods? And how bad can they be? After all, our ancestors ate these foods regularly and did not seem to have the kinds of ailments we see today. Jane will take a light-hearted view of the foods and cooking methods, looking at some old stories and new traditions, and explain her 80/20 vision for healthy eating. You can test your knowledge too, bring a pen a paper to join in the short quiz!

Jane Tobias is a Registered Nutritional Therapist and Lecturer at University of the West of Scotland, currently Programme Leader for the Master of Public Health degree. She is in the final stages of her PhD examining the immune properties of probiotics.

Jane has always had a great interest in food and cooking and grew up learning her skills from her very talented Grandma and Mum. She always enjoys the Jewish Festivals and making and sharing the significant foods and traditions with all friends of every religion.

Jane’s interest in food increased throughout her education and she is fascinated by the effects food and its nutrients have on our health and wellbeing and very much believes that ‘You are what you eat’.

Participation will cost £5 (free for those on limited income).
