Vedem: The Underground Magazine of the Terezin Ghetto
Vedem Underground examines the literary magazine written by Jewish teens imprisoned at Terezin, a Nazi camp in Czechoslovakia during the Second World War. Using pop-art graphics, drawings and paintings, and the prose and poetry, these brave adolescents secretly wrote and illustrated the longest-running underground magazine in a Nazi camp. Vedem (Czech for “In the Lead”) documented their voices with defiance, humor and heartbreak. The exhibition breaks down their 800 original pages and reconstructs them in the form of a contemporary magazine. Curated by Rina Taraseiskey and Danny King.

Let’s make breakfast! Come learn how easy it is to create fabulous plant based favorites with seasonal flavors that even carnivorous family and friends will love! I’ve planned some comforting dishes made with simple whole food ingredients and flavors fit for any breakfast table. Come learn some cooking techniques that will enable you to take plant based recipes and make variations to suit your tastes. This class is open to all levels of cooking experience.
This is a small ‘hands on’ class using fresh local ingredients (as much as possible) to create a wonderful plant based breakfast. We’ll be making: Tofu Scramble, French Toast, Waffles, Tempeh Bacon, a Homemade Granola, and Omelets! Yes, Omelets! Each student will go home with some dry omelet mix made in class to take home to try with friends and family. Most will be gluten free and processed oil free. (The only item non gluten free will be some breakfast sausages we will be making.)
You’ll come away with some great tips to create amazing meals using no animal products. Included in the class are: information handouts, recipes, and a gourmet vegan meal.
Class is limited to 10 students so pre-registration is required. Cost is $50 per person. Questions and registration, call or email Deb Kay at 360-431-4182 or kaydebbie25@yahoo.com.
Deb Kay is a trained instructor with over forty years cooking experience, the last ten years concentrating on plant based cuisine.
