Flavor Without Limits

Flavor without limits is a live, interactive cooking demonstration designed to show how culturally familiar foods can support health without sacrificing taste, tradition, or joy. Led by an Eatwell Exchange Registered Dietitian Jasmine Westbrooks-Figaro, this demo will highlight practical, realistic cooking techniques using ingredients commonly found in Black households and cultural cuisines across the African diaspora.

Participants will watch a step-by-step preparation of a balanced, flavorful dish while learning how to:

• Build meals that support heart health, diabetes prevention, and energy

• Modify traditional favorites without labeling foods as “good” or “bad”

• Use cooking methods that reduce excess sodium, added sugars, and saturated fat

• Plate meals in a way that feels satisfying, nourishing, and culturally affirming
