More people than ever have a specific diet due to health reasons, environmental or humane concerns, allergies, or cultural or religious traditions, and the Universal Meals program was designed to meet these needs. With Universal Meals, everyone has a seat at the table. This class offers simple guidelines and recipes that focus on vegetables, fruits, legumes, non-gluten grains, herbs, and spices. Universal Meals recipes are free of animal products, gluten-containing grains, nuts, alcohol, and other allergens to accommodate food preferences and common allergies.
