Food and Mood

My classes offer an opportunity to try plant-based cooking in a small group setting. Classes include demonstrations and hands-on cooking, recipes, refreshments, and sampling. We'll make familiar dishes plant-based, and try new ingredients in dishes that you'll incorporate into your everyday cooking.I have certificates in plant-based cooking from the culinary school Rouxbe and in plant-based nutrition from the T. Colin Campbell School of Nutrition Studies at Cornell. I'm also licensed by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine as a Food For Life instructor.Why do I offer these classes? Research has shown that eating plant-based can prevent, slow, and reverse heat disease, cancer, diabetes, and obesity.  I believe that the plant-based way of eating can change lives through improved health, energy, and well-being. Join me in a class or two, and learn some new recipes!
