Real Food for Rookies
If you have read my blog for long, you know that I have a great appreciation for Sally Fallon and her ground-breaking cookbook, Nourishing Traditions. I refer to it often as I cook in my own kitchen. It truly is a cookbook that one must read from cover to cover. If you are not sure or don’t remember what the cookbook is about, then read my Review of Nourshing Traditions.
A friend of mine sent me a link to a cooking class called Real Food for Rookies. Kelly the Kitchen Kop is putting on this cooking class for people who want to learn to utilize the principles in Nourishing Traditions. You will learn to recognize ingredients on labels, shop at farmer’s markets, make homemade bread, make raw dairy products, and much more. Kelly will also interview Sally Fallon, Jane Feingold, and many other experts in the field of health and food.
For twelve weeks you can learn at your own leisure and on your own time as Kelly the Kitchen Kop takes you through her cooking course. The topics are:
1. Reading Labels to Avoid the Junk
2. Choosing Which Fats and Oils to Use in Your Kitchen
3. Choosing Which Sweetners to Use and Batch Baking
4. Choosing the Right Meats
5. Choosing the Right Produce
6. Choosing the Right Dairy
7. Healthy Breakfast Ideas
8. Healthy Lunches, Snacks, and On-the-Go Foods
9. Healthy Dinners and Fast Food Alternatives
10. Superfoods Part One
11. Superfoods Part Two
12. Beyond Real Food
Registration is on-going and ends on September 15th. The class begins on September 16th. Watch the video to learn more about the cooking class.
I have decided to enroll in the cooking course even though I already practice many of the principles in Nourishing Traditions. I am certain that I will learn something new, but most importantly I want to integrate the cooking course into our home school.
Nutrition, health, cooking, and science will all combine to teach my children by my side. When childhood obesity, diabetes, behavioral problems, and other diseases are on the rise, I consider learning about real food and its affect on your life invaluable. The foods you choose to eat play a big role in your life. At their age, it is a time to prevent future health problems or improve some they currently experience.
If you are interested in learning more about this 12-week cooking course or want to enroll in it now, please check out Real Food for Rookies. If you decide to enroll, please go through the above link Texas Homesteader to sign up. I am now an affiliate of the course; therefore, doing so will allow me to earn a little money by bringing this course to your attention. Believe me, I need all the help I can get.
I want to thank my friend for introducing me to the Real Food for Rookies class. I cannot wait to learn alongside my children about the importance of real food. Our health depends on it.
You’re welcome. =) I still have to speak with my hubby about this course. I think including it as part of schooling is wonderful. My eldest needs all the help he can get nutrition wise and he used to be such a good veggie eater!
