Penn State Extension invites anyone interested to learn how to cook vegetarian as part of its “Let’s Cook with Penn State Extension” cooking class series.

“Let’s Cook Vegetarian” will take place from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday at the Penn State Extension Schuylkill County, 1202 Ag Center Dr., Pottsville.

Vegetarian diets may help reduce the risk of developing certain conditions, such as obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes.

The hands-on cooking class will explore different ways to eat a balanced, plant-based diet and will provide tips on how to make traditional entrées the vegetarian way.
