Group Cooking Classes

“I was really impressed with Michele’s organization and wealth of information we took home with us. The recipes were EASY and TASTY! She gave specifics of what foods and/or brands to purchase which makes future use of the recipes easier, too. Thank you, Michele, for making healthy eating more accessible to this lazy non-chef.”

A group cooking class is a great way to bring family and friends together so you can support each other as you walk the path to a healthier lifestyle.

The class is hands-on for every person as each participant is involved in the actual preparation of the dishes. They may be cutting cucumber, blending in the food processor, or seeding a pomegranate.cookingNew

With this hands-on experience, and a recipe card for each dish, each participant walks away with the know-how to make the dishes in their own home. After all the dishes are complete, we sit down together to enjoy the fruits of our labor giving everyone a chance to visit.

I’ll be honest; the dishes we make are not gourmet. I go to a restaurant when I want gourmet. Ideally, you will be introduced to some new ingredients in the class helping to add more variety into your diet. In general, the group cooking classes cover vegetarian dishes that can be served as a side dish or possibly as an entree. The dishes for your group cooking class are customized to meet your needs and the needs of your participants as food allergies and dislikes are taken into account. We can go gluten-free. We can go vegan. We can go raw.
