Chocolate lovers workshop set in Sitka

Chocolate lovers in Sitka can gather to discuss the health benefits of chocolate and how to incorporate it into their diet — in moderation. 

The University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service in Sitka is hosting the gathering, during which participants will also make and sample some chocolate-themed recipes.

The class will be led by Paula Veshti, a dietetics student at the University of Alaska Anchorage, who is providing nutritional services and education to the community through a series of cooking classes and other educational offerings.

The event will be held on April 6, from 3 to 5 p.m., at the Sitka Lutheran Church kitchen. Please use the back entrance to the church on Harbor Drive, as the front door will be locked. The entrance is located down a one-way alley, and limited parking is available. 

The cost is $25. Registration is limited to eight people. Participants may register using the online form or visit https://bit.ly/SitkaChocolate.
