A Little Inspiration for Everyday Cooks<\/span><\/h3>\n

Ever feel like good meals are as likely to show up on your table as $1000 checks in the mail?\u00a0 Meal making has been made out to be so hard, so difficult and so impossible.\u00a0 More than cooking skills, new gadgets and more recipes, I sometimes think what we need most is just a dose of plain old hope, i.e., a deep-rooted belief that making good, wholesome food each day is entirely doable.<\/p>\n

As an example, I received this email from Carol right after she had registered for a Whole Kitchen Cooking Class<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Looking forward to the class. I don’t know much about cooking. I try to eat healthy but it requires WORK.”<\/p>\n

So it warmed my heart when, after class was over, Carol emailed again.<\/p>\n

“Subject:\u00a0 soup!!<\/p>\n

Hey Mary,\u00a0 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!”\"Tulips\"<\/p>\n

While the many skills, tips and strategies we learned in class undoubtedly contributed greatly to Carol’s confidence and enthusiasm, I have no doubt that a newly blossomed seed of hope will keep her cooking long into the future, and enjoying it, too.<\/p>\n

Need a dose of inspiration?\u00a0 Join one of our cooking classes <\/a>where fun and inspiration are definitely main menu items, and cooking is cool again.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
