Recognizing healthy behavior change as medicine is one of the newest and most profound advancements in healthcare.
For the culinary world this is HUGE!
Instead of using food as mere fuel for the body, or entertaining the taste buds with aging fats, sugars, sodium and alcohol, chefs can use their culinary training and skills to
mitigate preventable chronic disease.

Prepare to Change—Prepare to Feel Better—Learn to Prepare!
Professional chefs can not only use their culinary training to teach people how to prepare healthful foods that are both flavorful and nutritious, but also teach important culinary principles and cooking skills so nutritious eating becomes an enjoyable prospect for a healthy life and a beautiful You.
It’s All About the Process
The process of learning how to prepare food properly demonstrates the intimate relationship between technique and result. Proper principles of good cooking are a significant factor in the judgment used to determine cooking time, temperature and method, as much as the quality and combination of ingredients. As we learn and practice proper food preparation and cooking techniques, we come to recognize that cooking and eating tasty, enjoyable and nutritious meals is as much about the process as it is the final product.
Use Your Imagination!
As we fill our culinary intellect and learn about all the beautifying, wrinkle-reversing, skin-enhancing foods to eat, we become empowered to create meals that not only reduce the aging foods we eat but instead embrace the enjoyment associated with preparing and eating meals that beautify our bodies inside and out—providing glowing energy, stamina and vitality.
