저녁 식사가 제공됩니다! 지속적으로 진행되는 맛있고 건강한 요리 클럽(11-16세 이상)

In 2022 after we experienced COVID world wide, I contracted a rare auto immune disease that left my body not able to tolerate many foods I had eaten all my life.  I embarked on a new way of eating which has helped me tremendously!  I feel we can all benefit from removing as many of the unhealthy, unnatural, foods and additives from our diets as we can to lead to a healthier lifestyle.  In our class we will learn that meals can be delicious and healthy at the same time. 
 
 If you're wanting to learn to cook or just learn new recipes, this weekly ongoing cooking class is for you.  Join us as we work through each step of the recipe together to create delicious meals for your family!   Each main dish will take 45-60 minutes to create not including any extra needed bake time. You’ll  improve your food preparation skills (how to slice, dice, chop, etc.),  learn more about food safety, build your kitchen confidence and add new, yummy, healthier recipes to your recipe file that you can create for your family again and again. 

The list of ingredients will be posted in the classroom 4-7 days before we make the meal to give you plenty of time to get everything ready.  I will also let you know what will need to be prepared before class, such at mincing garlic, chopping any vegetables, etc.  This will be on the ingredient list, otherwise we most often have time to do all preparation in class.  I will send out the full recipe the day of the class to print for your recipe file.   

I am very casual and easy to talk to in class.  I want students to see the kitchen as an enjoyable place to be!  We will interact throughout class.  Students are always free to ask questions!  

______________________________________________________________
We begin class reviewing and setting out all our ingredients. Put on our apron, wash our hands, and get started!

Here are meals we will be creating together.
Dates and recipes are tentative and subject to change.  Students are also welcome to let me know ideas for meals they would like to make.  If you have recipe ideas you'd like me to make please let me know so I can look for them, try them, and add them to class.


 *For the most part these recipes will be "whole food-plant based" with minimal things to bother our gut.  However-when the ingredient list comes to you please review it and make sure that there is nothing you can't eat.  Often there is another ingredient you can trade out.

**These recipes are subject to change as I find new recipes I want to add.  I'll always let you know weeks in advance of the changes.

You can always pause for the week if you cannot eat the recipe without some substitutions, or it's just not for you. Just make sure you pause before Sunday so you are not charged for the class.

I recognize our lives are all busy!  If you have to miss class, you can always watch the class video later, on your own time and still make the meal for the week!  For this reason I generally do not give refunds unless an emergency comes up.  If you know you cannot make a class or you have a vacation or something planned ahead of time, you may want to pause the class for those weeks so you are not charged.
