Program Description

When clients leave our counseling or educational sessions with our recommendations and information, do we really know if our suggestions are practical enough for their lifestyle, realizable in their kitchen or truly aligned with their palate? Nutrition Prescription to the Living Kitchen focuses on the tools, the therapeutic knowledge and the integrative culinary-nutrition techniques that connect health, health provider, nutrition and FOOD with each and every one of our clients and their living kitchens. This hands-on workshop is the TEST KITCHEN that showcases how we put food, nutrition and culinary ideas into practice and onto plates. The workshop combines live case studies, food-centric learning and problem solving, cooking demonstrations and hands-on cooking (in a live kitchen) and a myriad of food, nutrition and culinary tools to take home and use immediately.
