Cooking Classes
Learn how to prepare easy, quick, healthful meals of all kinds. These classes are two hours long, performed in your home, and are a combination of demonstration and hands-on participation. You’ll watch, learn, eat, and enjoy — guaranteed!
In two hours, we can prepare two complete, balanced meals or three quick-and-easy entrées. Each class focuses on addressing your specific needs and desires. Topics can vary. Previous classes have included:
- Wheat-Free and Gluten-Free Meals
- Dairy-Free Ideas
- Light & Healthy Recipes
- Vegetarian Cooking
- Heart-Healthy Dishes
- Blood Sugar Balancing
What to Expect
Before I come to your home, we discuss your preferences and plan what we want to prepare. Next, I send you a shopping list so you can get all the ingredients beforehand. When I arrive at your home, I will both demonstrate and assist you in preparing the recipes. I'll demo, then you do it!
We can work with your recipes, or I can provide recipes I have chosen for their good nutrition, ease, and great taste.
I try always to use natural products, avoiding processed foods whenever possible — unless they’re healthy, of course! Virtually all of my recipes use organic foods that are anti-oxidant rich, high in fiber, lower in calories, and include a variety of energizing, nutrient-rich foods.
Emphases include:
- Variety and balance
- Broadening your food options
- Creativity and experimentation in the kitchen
- Unconventional and surprising (in a good way) ideas
- Portion size
- Tips and tricks for faster meal preparation
Whether you're an experienced cook or a novice, if you simply need new ideas or healthful twists to your old favories, these classes are a great way of expanding your repertoire and adding life to your meals.
