Holistic Food Preparation—Around The World CEHFP
Instructor: Eva Cabaca M.Ed., CNP
In this post grad six session course, we will embark on an exploration of the possibilities to present world famous cuisines in a holistic way. All dishes will be fully vegan and completely free of processed ingredients. We will immerse in creative processes, concepts and ideas, and craft truly unique delicacies that will adhere to both holistic principles and world traditions. We will pay attention to detail, enjoy the experience, taking time to create masterpieces that will satisfy both the creative impulse and all the senses. Each class will explore a few advanced food preparation techniques or concepts to enhance your food preparation skills. An open mind, willingness to embrace new concepts and ability to work independently in your own space are key. Certain equipment, to borrow or buy (if you think you might want to own the piece) will be necessary, as specified.
Every participant is strongly encouraged to invite their family members! Kids can watch and even participate in the background, to make this experience a fun family event. After you create the delicious dishes, you will be able to enjoy a unique lunch of the delights together. Recipes will serve four people. The cost of ingredients for each session, that may become your family Sunday lunch or dinner, will roughly run registrants $35-$40.
