Washington -- PETA staffers—and the D.C. media—are in for a treat. That's because on Monday, celebrity chefs and sisters Jenny Engel and Heather Goldberg—cookbook authors and cofounders of Spork Foods, the most popular vegan cooking school on the West Coast—will visit PETA's Washington office and dish up a delectable menu featuring vegan products donated by Rhode Island–based Galaxy Nutritional Foods. The "Spork" sisters will serve creamy baked mac 'n' cheese, featuring Galaxy's new vegan mozzarella shreds; spinach–artichoke heart dip with Galaxy's award-winning vegan cream cheese and vegan Parmesan; their trademark Amazing Caesar Salad; and mouthwatering stuffed French toast bites with Galaxy's new strawberry vegan cream cheese, which the sisters will demonstrate how to prepare.

When:   Monday, September 24, 11 a.m. 

Where:  PETA office, 1536 16^th St. N.W. (on the corner of 16^th Street and Q Street N.W.), Washington

 Members of the media are invited to film the cooking demonstration and sample the dishes to their hearts' content.

 "When Jenny and Heather team up with Galaxy, the result is food that's as fun and exciting as it is healthy and humane," says PETA Director of Communications Colleen O'Brien. "The case for giving your body and animals a break by going vegan has never been stronger."
