I had originally called these cooking classes, Women’s Health, Navigating from Perimenopause to Post Menopause. Then I realized that I am always teaching how to improvise and cook for health and pleasure. Hence the new title.

Please join me,  Leslie Cerier, The Organic Gourmet Internationally Renown Chef, Teacher, Cookbook Author, Recipe Developer, Motivational Speaker and 71-year-old woman who sailed through menopause without a hot flash.

Come learn how I did it through diet, lifestyle, and more.

Different Menu for each class. Take one or both.

In these hands-on vegetarian cooking classes, I present whole foods that are not just good for you, but also pleasurable and delicious. Come cook and feast on exciting vegetarian dishes that will enhance your immune system, give you energy, rejuvenate your senses, keep your bones strong, help you maintain an active lifestyle, and MORE.

During each class, learn to:

·         Stock a cornucopia of organic whole real foods, and cook them easily from scratch

·         Use herbs and spices to enhance flavor and create international dishes

·         Mix and match foods that are high in antioxidants, calcium, and iron to invent your own recipes

·         Substitute ingredients by color, flavor, seasonal availability, texture, cooking times, and whim

Excite your palate with a treasure-trove of healthy and taste-tempting recipes. These classes are guaranteed to delight the palate and inspire home cooking.

I will show novice and seasoned cooks how to make cooking and eating deeply nourishing as we go through our changing lives with grace and ease.

Each class, I will teach different recipes, include knife skills, time saving and eco-cooking tips.

When you register, please let me know if you have any food allergies to take into account for planning the menus for both classes.
