We are so thrilled to have local chef and plant-based eating expert Caryn Dugan ( ) as the chef for this Dovetail! Chef Caryn Dugan will be crafting some custom charcuterie to help us envision the play and possibility in a diverse gut-healthy diet!
Our gut microbiomes are complex communities of trillions of microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi) in the digestive tract that acts as a vital organ system. It is essential for breaking down dietary fiber, synthesizing vitamins (like B and K), regulating the immune system, protecting against pathogens, and influencing metabolism and brain health.
One of the best ways to help keep our gut micro-biomes healthy and flourishing is through plant-food diversity. Experts recommend that each week you consume 30 distinct plant foods; using vegetables, fruits, legumes, grains, nuts/seeds, herbs/spices you can create a micro-biome supporting diet that is delectable, creative, and easy to make!
To illustrate this, Chef Caryn is crafting charcuterie that incorporates 30 plant-based ingredients. All of the foods for this Dovetail are completely plant based/vegetarian friendly.
There is still time to get tickets and join us! Use the link in our bio, or check out our website under the events tab.
