Dietitian Course: Teaching Clients Life-Long Cooking Skills

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.
