Legumes for Beginners

Cookbook author and nutrition expert Liv Teilmann hosts an evening about legumes at Vordingborg Library. The event is part of the National Green Week in week 34.

The evening begins with a green meal of 12 dishes, all featuring legumes as the main ingredient. Afterwards, Liv Teilmann gives a short presentation with time for questions. She is the author of the cookbook Legumes for Beginners and has taught sustainable and healthy cooking for many years.

Danish dietary guidelines recommend 100 g of legumes per day - by comparison, Danes consume on average only about 8 g. The evening focuses on how legumes can be incorporated into everyday cooking, in line with the Danish Food and Veterinary Administration's recommendations.
