1-2-3 lift off! I am excited to announce that I have just launched a brand new series of healthy cooking classes for groups of all kinds in Northern California – in the Chico area, Butte County and the Greater Sacramento area.
This is a fresh approach to cooking classes. I’m an experienced Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and food lover and I have fused (and infused!) these 2 sides of myself into this new endeavor. These classes are unique because they give each participant the skills to cook and prepare food in a healthy way that is enjoyable for them and supports their health for a lifetime.
Typical cooking classes focus on either cooking skills or nutrition education. These classes offer a new, multi-level approach which involves these important elements:
- In-depth nutrition education on balanced eating
- Hands-on training of important cooking skills and techniques
- Mindful eating principles
- An appreciation of both the pleasures of food and its important role in a healthy lifestyle
These classes were created to help people improve their health and feel their best by teaching them how to create healthy, balanced and delicious meals at home that include all important nutrients in the right proportion. A focus on the pleasures of food and eating and a spirit of exploration is an important aspect of the classes.
I am offering these classes in the community as well as to employers, schools/colleges and other groups and organizations. Ideally, these classes are in-person. I can come to you! Virtual Zoom classes are also a possibility. If your group or organization is in Chico, Butte County or the Greater Sacramento area, and you have an on-site kitchen or other appropriate meeting space, the cooking classes can be done at your location. I’m flexible and interested in offering you the best option for your organization.
The core cooking classes program is a series of 5 classes. Each class could be scheduled based on the preferred timeframe of your group. For example, I could do all 5 classes for your group within a few days (for a more intensive format) or I could do each class on a weekly or monthly basis. I also might consider offering less than 5 classes for a group depending on the situation.
Private 1-on-1 classes are also available and can be customized to meet the individual’s needs (contact to discuss your unique needs and preferences)
