Item Description

Don't just watch cooking on T.V. - get your hands dirty and learn how to cook at the Natural Gourmet Institute with $250 towards any and all cooking classes.

The Natural Gourmet Institute was founded on the principle that what we eat significantly affects our physical, mental and spiritual well-being. Each individual reacts differently to food and so will thrive on a unique diet. Consequently, there is no one perfect food or dietary regimen that works for everyone. With these principles in mind, The Natural Gourmet has created a framework for healthy food selection based on specific criteria for high quality ingredients, concepts of eastern/western nutrition and a variety of dietary paradigms. To accomplish this goal, we look to the whole food traditions of our healthy ancestors as well as to modern scientific studies. Our approach empowers people to tailor their eating style to support their individual health needs.

At the Natural Gourmet Institute, You can enjoy the company of like-minded individuals in a friendly and welcoming environment. We offer classes with varying levels of participation in an intimate setting.

People enroll in our classes to learn how to:

  • Eat more healthfully
  • Have more energy
  • Prepare health-supportive foods
  • Add new, exciting recipes to their cooking repertoire
  • Be a healthy vegetarian
  • Be a healthy flexitarian*
  • Use diet to help prevent disease
  • Heal a medical condition through diet
  • Lose weight - often a by-product of a healthier diet

* a mostly vegetarian eater who is flexible enough to occasionally eat meat or fish

Different levels of participation:

  • Demonstration: students observe as instructor prepares recipes
  • Partial Participation: students assist with some food preparation
  • Hands-on: students cook under the guidance of an instructor
