Does this resonate with you? If so I'm happy to help you take control of your health through cooking real food.
Today, the food industry has hijacked our kitchens, not by accident, but by design. It has rebranded cooking as a chore, a burden, drudgery.
“You deserve a break today.” Nonsense. It’s a con job to get us to buy prepared, processed foods.
Many of my patients report feeling too stressed and too tired to cook, and on the rare occasions when they have the energy to cook, more often than not they are confused about what to cook. They are victims of the food industry initiative to subvert the American kitchen (and increasingly, the global kitchen), and they are not alone.
We now have two generations of Americans who do not know how to cook, who have swallowed Big Food’s propaganda, that cooking is a difficult, time-consuming, expensive, onerous chore from which only they can save us. It’s a lie. Don’t buy it.
Cooking and eating food are essential acts that make us human and connect us to what is real and important: the earth, nature, family, and community. Preparing and cooking food, for me, has always been a source of joy, nourishment, connection, and exploration. And with a little practice and guidance, it can be for you as well.
