Healthy Cooking Days
The next Healthy Thai Cooking Day on Friday 10th February
is now full.
Saturday 17th March I will run a new cooking workshop:
"Back to Healthy Basics".
This cooking day will be for those of you who are bored with
your current cooking and want some interesting but easy
recipes for the family - or for you alone. We'll also cover what oils
are safe to heat, how to do a healthy stir fry without frying...
and lots more.
Healthy Cooking Workshops are days when you or a group of your friends can come together, cook ...and then enjoy a meal together.
To help those of you who think healthy foods are boring, and for those who just don't know what new health-giving foods to try or how to prepare them.
These sessions can be based on foods for certain health conditions, foods you don't normally like cooking - or just delicious healthy cooking recipes and tips. Usually they are based on no wheat, dairy or sugar.
The workshops are 11-1430 hrs but can be changed to suit the group. They include 4-6 recipes, with each recipe explaining the health benefits of the main ingredients. Organic fish and chicken may incur extra costs, dependent upon current market price - and of course, the day includes a banquet lunch - and any left-overs to take with you!
The cost per couple is £110; £40 pp for a group based on 3-4 [2012 costs]
Cooking day themes are 'Cooking with Pulses', 'Moroccan feast', 'Healthy Take on Thai' and 'Fish for Those Who Don't'.... lots of warming foods to see you through the winter.
[Please email if interested in the Thai day as I have some 'cooks' wanting to make up a group of four]
Four Seasons' Workshops
These workshops are based on the following themes to see you through the year: Your liver and how to do a Healthy detox, Immune-support, De-Stress & energize, and finally, All about hormones.
These workshops are usually 3-4 hours, include handouts plus either a two-course lunch or dinner based on the foods and nutrients discussed during the talk.
The cost ranges from £25 - £30 and I can run them in your workplace or home.
