What Others Are Saying About Classes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Inspiration<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Hi Mary, I can’t tell you how much your class was an inspiration to me.  I took this class because I was bored and wanted to do more fun stuff with veggies. I found class to be an inspiration to rejuvenate my taste buds and get excited about cooking again. Last night, I tried another new recipe, African stew with sweet potatoes, cauliflower, collard greens, interesting spice combo and it was yummy!  Thanks again for the wonderful cooking tips.

Lifelong Love of Cooking<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It’s been four years since I took a class but I\u2019m still enjoying cooking, and just shared last weekend how taking your classes changed my relationship to cooking and allowed me to feel comfortable in the kitchen and with cooking.

Action-Packed!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Mary, that was quite a presentation yesterday. You are very professional, and you pack a lot of information in to a short amount of time. Well done.

Learning to Cook–It Doesn’t Take Long<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I like being able to cook my own food now. I don\u2019t have to go to Whole Foods or somewhere else and get prepared food that’s really expensive and has a lot more calories than I want. Six months ago I couldn’t imagine being able to do this.
Stacey<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I actually like to cook, but always said I couldn’t and thought I couldn’t because my sister is such a great cook. I thought that’s what “cooking” had to be like–a big and fancy production. But now I see it can be very simple and still taste great. Like I just made a butternut squash soup and it was fantastic. The best thing I have ever made! I went to the Savory Spice Shop and bought some herbs. I borrowed a Moose Wood cookbook. I made a white bean soup last night. I’m excited, but I miss the Thursday ritual of cooking class.
Summer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just wanted to share with you that I made the tastiest healthy soup this evening using leftover chicken breasts and good veggies from the fridge. It was quick, easy, and delicious, and I couldn’t have done it before your class. I’m so proud of myself!

Corporate Wellness Directors <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Good Morning Mary,
Wonderful class yesterday! (Referring to the Latin Diet Class)
Tracy<\/strong>, Program Coordinator, City of Boulder Human Services<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you Mary for the great cooking classes you contributed to the Whole Foods “Health Starts Here 28-Day Challenge.” You brought great enthusiasm, information and hands-on guidance to the world of veggies.”

From Discomfort to Excitement <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Before this class I felt uncomfortable in the kitchen. Now I am excited about cooking and trying new things!
Amanda<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Invaluable”<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

One class series is not nearly enough. Our whole family is making life changes based on this class–a whole change of attitude.
Kristine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

FUN! (Even Meal Planning!)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Last month I took Mary Collette Rogers’ “healthy cooking” class and I just had to shout out how great it was. Mary is sparkling and funny and energetic and she knows her stuff. I learned how to cook food that is not only healthy but delicious. (Before, those two characteristics seemed fairly incompatible to me.) I learned this is a lifestyle and state of mind. I can’t gush about her enough.
Carol<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Class was great and I had a lot of fun. The menu planning information was the most helpful part for me. I was a decent cook, but needed to have 4-5 things ready to go for the week. The meal planning we learned about is helping a lot.
Greg<\/strong>, OMD, L.Ac. (Doctor of Oriental Medicine and Licensed Acupuncturist)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vegetables<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In case I can’t make it to the last class, I just wanted to say thanks so much for everything. I enjoyed the series and have already started using your tips and vegetable recipes. (Now I just have to try to stick to it.) I will keep an eye out for future classes. Thanks again.”

I am staying inspired and we are eating so well everyday so Scott and i lose and\/or maintain weight!! My deepest gratitude for sharing your passion so generously and enthusiastically with me. It keeps inspiring me!

Enjoyment<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I enjoyed the Mediterranean cooking classes so very much! I wish they weren’t over already, but I got some good ideas for shopping at the Farmers’ Market so your teachings will come in very handy. Thank you so much! I don’t know how you could prepare for the classes and remember to bring everything. You’re amazing. I’ll be interested if you hold more classes. Thanks again!
Mary Ann<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi Mary . . . I am so disappointed I could not make it [to the last class]. . . Rats. . . I have learned so much from you . . . thanx . . . And if you have any more cooking classes, please let me know. I would love to learn more from you.

I loved the class.

Your cooking classes were great and we look forward to doing something like that again in the future
