TEACHING CLIENTS LIFE-LONG COOKING SKILLS
Our clients/patients have all good intentions to cook at home when they leave your office...but time, exhaustion, overwhelm, and lack of knowledge all get in the way; stopping them from cooking a simple meal & achieving their goals. We’ll focus on the importance of learning the cooking method & skills behind the recipe…so that your clients are learning life-long skills rather than one off recipes, or meal plans. These skills will set them up for success, for the long-term!
Upon successful completion of this one-hour course, the participant should be able to:
- Identify when a client/patient is struggling to cooking at home.
- Identify when a client/patient can benefit from more than just recipes & meal planning apps.
- Teach clients practical & simple cooking tips for cooking without a recipe.
- Have a better understanding of flavor combinations and how to cook intuitively with herbs & spices.
