Healthy Cooking Classes

Brook Harmon, MS, RD, LD

Take time to pamper yourself while improving your health.  Taught by dietitians, our classes show you the why's and how's of cooking delicious meals with a healthy twist.  Classes include instruction in the principles of a healthy diet as well as the opportunity to prepare and eat meals designed with good living in mind.  Our team of instructors helps take the guess work out of choosing and preparing foods full of flavor as well as good nutrition.
