<h1>The Parkinson’s Kitchen: Nutrition, Tools &amp; Techniques</h1>
<h2>A Guide to Food as Medicine</h2>
<h2>Wednesday, November 4, 2:00 – 4:00 pm</h2>
<h2>RVNAhealth Teaching Kitchen, 27 Governor Street, Ridgefield CT</h2>
Join RVNAhealth’s registered dietitian, occupational therapist, and speech language pathologist for a hands-on cooking demonstration that brings together nutrition, adaptive equipment and easier kitchen techniques, and practical advice on chewing, swallowing, food textures, and mealtime safety.
Drawing from The Parkinson’s Plate by Michael S. Okun, MD—co-author of The Parkinson’s Plan—and Emily Truscott, MS, RD, LD, this program connects expert guidance with recipes and ideas for eating well with Parkinson’s.
As our registered dietitian prepares recipes from the book, the conversation will unfold right alongside the cooking. Our occupational therapist will introduce adaptive kitchen equipment and easier ways to handle common kitchen tasks, while our speech-language pathologist will add practical guidance around chewing, swallowing, food textures, and mealtime safety. Along the way, we’ll talk about nutrition, ingredients, preparation techniques, and small changes that can make cooking with Parkinson’s easier while keeping food healthy, delicious, and enjoyable.
Participants will see adaptive equipment in action, discover recipes to make at home, and leave with useful ideas for the kitchen and table. Admission is free. Please register <a href="https://rvnahealth.org/event/the-parkinsons-kitchen-food-tools-techniques/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">here.</a>

Trumbull Library: Main Branch

Meet Connecticut author Ethan Rutherford for an afternoon of conversation about writing, publishing, and his acclaimed novel, North Sun, a 2025 National Book Award Finalist and one of Barack Obama’s favorite books of 2025.
Set in 1878, North Sun follows a whaling ship’s crew from New Bedford toward the remote arctic waters. This strange, haunting adventure explores obsession, survival, and the human cost of pursuing a dangerous ambition.
John Mulaney called it “[a] must must must read” and “funny, bizarre, reckless, and very moving.”
Hear how Rutherford brought this unusual story to life, learn about his career as a working writer, and bring your questions for the audience Q&amp;A.
A reception and book signing will follow, with books available for purchase from Black Rock Books. Sponsored by the Friends of the Trumbull Library.
Registration is encouraged.
