One-On-One Classes

Cook For Better Health

Here are a few reasons why learning to make simple, delicious dinners at home is a good idea:

  • Your doctor said you should eat more vegetables
  • Your gluten-free dinners need to taste better so you won’t miss the gluten
  • You buy cooked chicken but have no idea what vegetables or grains to make with it.

Sound familiar?

What keeps you from eating whole food vs processed?

No time? Know-how? Need advice on cooking gadgets that speed up prep?
You decide on where you need the most coaching for our One-On-One Classes.
Want to learn how to roast a chicken, saute vegetables or poach shrimp?
You decide what hurdles to jump over to bring out the broccoli, with ease. No more excuses. 🙂
Whether you’re struggling to lose weight, prepare for a detox, or eat real food vs processed, I’ll help set you up for success.

Here are some of what we’ll do during our in-home cooking session:

  • The hands-on session will last 3 hours in your kitchen
  • We’ll talk about who shops for what before arriving
  • We’ll cook 2 entrees and side dishes, based on the menu created around your food preferences

I do request that you have a relatively clean and organized kitchen to accommodate our working together. If you need to reschedule a booked session, as a courtesy please give me a 2-day notice.

Eat Better—Feel Better

Living on processed food and take-out is setting you up for possibly popping pills with side effects down the road. Learning skills toward the healing power of whole foods is an act of self-care and you’ll feel better. Simple lifestyle changes can change your energy, making you and everyone around you happier.
