CLASS LIST

BUILDING BLOCKS OF HEALTHY COOKING

Four class series
Classes can be taught separately or as a series
Each class can be either a:
- one hour lecture with a one-dish cooking demo and tasting (suitable for office setting)
- 2.5 hour full cooking class (a kitchen is needed)

  • Quick Cooking for Optimal Health
  • Need more time? Learn cooking tips that reduce the amount of time you spend cooking. We'll discuss quick cooking and seasoning tips and techiques for vegetables and grains, why a sharp knife is one of the speediest tools and how to keep it sharp, and how to set up your kitchen for easy cuisine.
  • Higher Flavor Lower Fat
  • Learn to reduce the amount of fat in your cooking with tips, tricks and flavor agents guaranteed to season your food but slim your waist. Class covers how to heighten flavors of foods without fat, how to make your own sauce, and reviews specific nonfat and low fat dairy options.
  • Eat Your Vegetables!
  • The main reason people don't eat more vegetables is because they don't know how to cook them so everyone, including kids, enjoy eating them.  Learn about the energetics of vegetables and why we want to eat more. We'll discuss how to shop for, store and cook them with three easy techniques that will change your opinion of vegetables forever!
  • Great Grains
  • Whole grains are at the base of the USDA Food Pyramid, but what do we do with them and how do we season them? Observe five basic cooking techniques, taste a number of different types of grains, and learn how to individually season grain with the Condiment Plate (salt and pepper with a college education!)
