Want to learn to cook healthy, delicious and satisfying food?  In this workshop, you'll learn EVERYTHING you need to know! Dispel the dietary myths from our present culture and learn the truth about REAL nutrition. Reclaim your birthright of vital, vibrant health by learning to prepare delicious, nourishing foods and making well educated choices when selecting the best ingredients for yourself and your loved ones! Did you know our ancestors ate certain foods that nourished and sustained them in good health for centuries? Did you guess these are the same foods the "dietary police" have been telling us to avoid for decades? Yes, butter, cream, eggs, meat, whole milk and even lard are the rich, nutrient dense foods that gave our great, great grandparents those strong, hardy bodies and sound minds.

Most of us have cut these foods out of our diet not realizing these are the very foods we need to sustain and maintain good health.
