Brain Health workshop
This year I’ve been doing a deep dive into the health of our brain. It has been such a fascinating journey I want to share the novel ways, specific foods and supplements that are showing positive evidence for supporting our neurons and brain connections, and thus focus and memory.
This workshop will be about the enpowering preventative action we can take before any neurodegeneration may or may not begin. Notes covered in the w’shop will be emailed to participants after the last event.
Dates:
Thursday, 29th January, a lunch workshop 1100h hrs-1430 hrs
OR
Tuesday, 3rd March, early evening workshop, 1730 hrs – 2100 hrs
Cost pp: £50
The talk is interactive and will be 90 minutes with a break. A 2-course (+ small dessert nibble) meal will follow which is based on the foods discussed during the talk.
*Wild salmon will be part of menu. Vegan diets will be fully catered for.

Healthy Cooking Days
Healthy Cooking Workshops:
I’m currently only offering these to clients, as part of their follow-up or to groups of minimum 4.
These workshops are opportunities for you to come together and discover more about the healing benefits of food.
The cooking day can be themed – see below – or it can incorporate a medley of healthy foods you’d like to increase in your diet.
Everyone prepares and cooks together. This isn’t a cooking demonstration, it’s a coming together in the kitchen with me sharing my knowledge and all of us preparing and cooking together.
I guide you through new recipes, explaining the nutrients and specific health benefits of the ingredients. Usually four or five recipes are covered, which you can then enjoy in our kitchen conservatory, surrounded by the green of trees and garden.
These workshops are ideal for clients who are finding it difficult to change their diets. New foods and new recipes – a new diet – can be daunting. This w’shop makes it easy and o-able. Clients can bring family members along, to encourage support and understanding of their dietary changes. A feast of flavours to enjoy together, to prove that healthy can indeed be easy and delicious.
The cooking workshops are also for anyone wanting to discover new foods and new ways to prepare and cook. In the past, people have booked a group w’shop to celebrate a birthday or anniversary. Cook together, then sit down to enjoy a celebratory lunch or dinner.
I can gear cooking days to foods that are beneficial for certain health conditions, using healing foods for anyone concerned about familial conditions such as diabetes, cardio vascular disease, cancer.
We usually cover 4-6 recipes which are always based on no wheat, no dairy or sugar . They include explainations of the health benefits of the main ingredients.
The day includes a lunch (or dinner) of all the dishes you prepare. As there may be left-overs, please bring five small containers with you.
£90pp for 3.5 hours, based on a min of 4 participants.
This includes a folder of recipes and lunch (or dinner)
The cost for a couple is £150
Cooking themes : Cooking with Pulses, Moroccan feast, Healthy Take on Thai, Fish for Those Who Don’t, Vegetarian Feast, Salad Days.
Cooking with Teens:
This is an opportunity for a group of three of four children or teens to enjoy a cooking session in my kitchen. It is usually 2- 2.5 hours long, either on a weekend or your child/teen’s next half term school break
This w’shop covers 3-5 recipes (depending on the speed of the participants!) and includes some easy-to-understand explanations about the healing powers of foods – as well as the ones to eat less of.
The w’shop is not meant to be a lesson. It is a way of making the kitchen somewhere a child or teen might want to be; an enjoyable experience in a safe space, learning about the astonishing benefits of ingredients.
We prepare and cook together, look at labelling, taste some of the herbs growing in my garden and then the group can sit and enjoy the meal together. A mini health talk for minis or teens!
£50.00 for a minimum of 4. A 1:1 session is £60
