CORPORATE WELLNESS

Currently, and as a former Healthy Eating Specialist at Whole Foods Market from 2009-2014, I educate individuals, clients, and the community on the world of food. I create and deliver fun, hands-on, or online cooking classes, conduct cooking demonstrations, and craft team building events to give clients the opportunity to learn, engage and enjoy specific food themes. During classes, we discuss ingredients, focus on skills and culinary techniques, analyze recipes, and share answers to all questions regarding food, nutrition, and cooking.

CLASS EXAMPLES

TEAM BUILDING

Cooking Classes

Food is always present at a Team Building function, so why not make it the focus? Preparing food alone brings out something in everyone. Let’s remove the traditional barriers, hierarchical structures and have some fun! A few cuisines and styles that have been explored are Spanish tapas, French Bistro, Mediterranean, Japanese and Thai. Chocolate classes are also offered seasonally.

Online Classes

Great for kids, corporate team building events, groups of friends or family members across the country and beyond. Class topics range from sweet and savory souffles, French macarons, chocolate and fruit mousses, choux pastries, and more.

DEMONSTRATIONS and DISCUSSIONS:

Shopping and Cooking on a Budget

How to take one recipe, shop for it and make several other recipes from it.  The main recipe itself has many items that may not be purchased for the sole reason to “condense” the number of items purchased and stay within budget.

Sugar – Friend or Foe?

Sugar has captured the spotlight, but not in a good way.  Why?  Why has this oh-so-tasty, yet tempting substance that we have loved since birth become troublesome in our lives?   Through a game format, we take a look at the relationship between sugar, our bodies needs and how we can productively incorporate it in our dietary lifestyles.

Hors d’oeuvres

Small plates, tapas, piattino – whatever your pleasure, let’s take a new look at the old scene.  Small plate restaurants are all the rave, but hors d’oeuvres are the beginning of many an event.  Come learn some simple dishes that can make yours the talk of the town!
