Whole Food Cooking Course

For many people, the thought of changing to a whole foods diet is a bit overwhelming. So to introduce the concepts a bit more easily, I’ve developed a 15 step plan called “How To Enjoy Real Food”. The aims are to:

  • Introduce some of the key elements of whole food nutrition
  • Apply these elements to everyday eating
  • Show how to replace poor quality modern food stuffs with healthy alternatives

The course is composed of the following 15 steps. It is suggested you add in one a week, but it’s up to you how you fit it best into your timetable.

    1. Breakfasts
    2. Snacks
    3. Drinks
    4. Breads (some gluten free)
    5. Stocks, soups & seasonings
    6. Raw veges and salads
    7. Baking (mostly gluten free)
    8. Dinners
    9. Grains, legumes & vegetarian dishes
    10. Organ meats, and raw meat & fish dishes
    11. Sprouted & fermented foods
    12. Sauces, dressings & chutneys
    13. Desserts
    14. Takeaways and eating out
    15. Tying it all together

HOW DOES IT COMPARE WITH NOURISHING TRADITIONS?

  • It can be used as a companion to Nourishing Traditions, but is also self contained for those people who don’t have NT.
  • It leads you through the concepts covered in NT, step by step, to make it easier to integrate into your lifestyle
  • The bread and baking sections include gluten free recipes
  • Some of the recipes are a bit simpler for the cook with limited time
  • Some recipes include “compromise” foods to help make the transition a bit easier

WHO IS THE COURSE DESIGNED FOR?

People who

  • want to start with whole foods and are looking for an introductory text
  • want a guide for working through the many concepts
  • have got a copy of Nourishing Traditions, but are finding it a bit daunting and don’t know where to start
  • are trying to combine whole food eating with a gluten free or casein free diet, and are having trouble with the bread and baking recipes in Nourishing Traditions

It does assume some basic cooking knowledge, so if you’re a total novice, you’ll also need a kitchen handbook of some kind. On the other hand, if you fell in love with Nourishing Traditions at first sight and dived in head first, this will probably be a bit basic for you.

IS IT DESIGNED FOR NEW ZEALAND ONLY?

A few “kiwi-isms” may have sneaked their way in there, but if I’ve written anything you don’t understand, just email me and I’ll interpret.
