I teach healthy cooking to people with special needs, educating them on recognizing and making healthier food choices. It is medically proven that following an anti-inflammatory diet not only significantly reduces symptoms such as meltdowns and speech delays, but can also reverse them if not severe and caught early. My classes teach them how to be more independent by incorporating skills such as measuring, pouring, and mixing. These skills become progressively more advanced to include knife and stovetop skills, to name a few. I offer advanced students employment opportunities with catering and private chef services. At every level and in every class, these students become more confident in their abilities. They also realize that they have much to contribute and can step into their God-given purpose.
