Flavor Comes First:
Healthy Meals That Taste Delicious

Come join my online Craftsy class, Flavor Comes First: Healthy Meals That Taste Delicious

Throughout these video lessons, I’ll give you simple strategies and recipes to make healthy cooking an easy, joyful part of your life — and one that propels you on a path of wellness.

The class covers the essential tools for better cooking and eating:

First I’ll explain my tried-and-true food philosophy of “Usually/Sometimes/ Rarely,” and show you how to put this plan into action with smart, one-skillet dinners —ancho-rubbed chicken with warm corn, tomato and zucchini Salad and chicken Piccata.

I’ll introduce my “Hunger Continuum” next —a handy tool for managing portions more intuitively and eating more mindfully. Then I’ll show you some ultra-satisfying soup recipes– Autumn Vegetable Soup and Creamy Zucchini Soup.

In this lesson, I’ll share ways to boost flavor healthfully with herbs, spices and aromatics. I’ll talk about essential herb pairings, show you how to make cauliflower tabbouleh, and whip up a fresh cherry tomato and toasted garlic penne that will have everyone calling for seconds.

I’ll show you how to stock your pantry with healthier fats next. Plus we’ll make a Dijon vinaigrette you’ll want to drizzle over everything in sight. I’ll also share a recipe for a rich green goddess dressing that’s loaded with nutrients and fiber.

Unsure at the fish counter? You won’t be after this lesson. I’ll walk you through the essentials of buying fish. And I’ll whip up my no-fail recipe for your easiest salmon ever. We’ll also make bread crumb-
topped fillets that deliver a satisfying crunch in a healthy way. And I’ll share my secret weapon for on-demand entertaining — Italian fisherman’s stew.

In our last lesson, you’ll learn how to get more nutritious whole grains into your life, discover my grain freeze method for convenient whole foods, and whip up easy, weeknight dinners, from quinoa pilaf to herbed farro salad.
