Sneak peek for upcoming healthy cooking classes...

I love getting in the kitchen and teaching people how to make simple healthy food.  What I hear most from people when trying to stay healthy is the struggle to know what to make. So I'm excited to share two upcoming healthy cooking classes I will be teaching at Whole Foods Bowery this spring. Stay tuned to their calender of events for registration.

Friday March 12, 2010 Gluten Free Baking For Beginners:

Gluten free baking can be overwhelming for a newbie, not knowing what flours to buy and use. Learn the basics about various alternative flours, why they are beneficial for the body and how to use them in your baking. In this class, gain a better understanding of how to make healthy gluten free goods using whole grain flours, natural sweeteners, and other high quality ingredients. In this hands on class we will be making vegan banana bread, vegan thumbprint cookies, berry crumble and brownies all free of dairy, gluten and refined sugars.

Monday April 26th, 2010 Spring Detox:

Congratulations on making it through another cold winter!  Time to shed your body of excess weight and start fresh. Spring is the perfect time to clear out the past and make way for the season ahead.  Learn why its important to seasonally detox the body and what foods and activities help to support the detox process specifically during the spring months. Come away with step-by-step guidelines and recipes to a 5-day food based cleanse. After the cleanse, you will feel refreshed, rejuvenated and ready to take on the warm months ahead.  On the menu: Kale and Goji Berry Salad; Zucchini Pasta with Hemp Seed Pesto; Banana Pear Ginger Cereal with Nut Milk.
