EMPOWERMENT ESSENTIALS 

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime".
-Maimonides

Taking charge of your health via food should be available for any and all who need/want it. 

Food has the power to affect every person and every sphere of our society's landscape. I spearheaded this activist journey while living in California by participating in alternative food systems, growing my own food, and implementing and fundraising for numerous community-based events focused on educating people on the power of food.

I currently teach one-on-one or small group classes over the basics of nourishing oneself properly with food and voting with one’s dollars through food choices. I strive to create a sustainable and personalized learning process, dependent on the interest and participation level of each individual. 


Classes

“Recipes are just descriptions of one person’s take on one moment in time. They’re not rules.”
-Mario Batali

Whatever class you choose, I will teach you intuitive cooking techniques that allow you to feel confident in the kitchen even without a recipe. Intuitive cooking sets you up with the skills to be able to take a recipe and alter it depending on what is in season, what your food intolerances/allergies are, and what your preferences tend to be! In these classes you receive personalized instructions, delicious food, new inspiring recipes, and the confidence take simple ingredients and make them into delicious meals!
