One of my greatest joys is teaching others how to gain better health with plant-based nutrition. High nutrient plant foods, such as leafy green vegetables, fruit, beans, nuts and seeds, have the most power to increase longevity, reduce risk of disease, reverse disease if you have it and help you to achieve and maintain your ideal weight.   In my classes I demonstrate how to incorporate these plant foods into delicious meals that you and your family will love!  I also discuss the healing power of these foods and how they can bring you greater Health 4 Life!  All dishes are completely vegan, have no oil and I rarely use processed sugars and flour products.

If you live in or are visiting the St. George area, I hope you will join me for a cooking class. If you can’t make it to one of my scheduled classes, I would love to come to you. Schedule a demonstration for your church, business,  civic group, or neighborhood party! Need some personal coaching? Give me a call at 435-215-6997 or e-mail me at health4lifecooking@gmail.com.

Cooking Class Reviews

My husband and I attended your cooking class last week at DSU. We both had a great time and were pleasantly surprised with the great tasting salads. I was amazed with the Mediterranean Kale Salad. You couldn’t taste the kale! Rick was excited about the Better Than Egg Salad. He keeps asking me to make it.

I wanted to share an experience that happened with the Mediterranean Kale Salad that I made for dinner the other night. First, I have to give you some background information. Rick is a self proclaimed carnivore and proudly announces it to everyone. In the past when I have prepared a salad for dinner, he adds a half dozen eggs and a chicken breast to it. We sat down for dinner and he tasted the Mediterranean Kale Salad and exclaimed, “Wow! That is really good! That doesn’t need anything added to it.” He then got up from the table and put the unused eggs and chicken back in the refrigerator.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes with us. It was a win-win-win experience. When you get great tasting food, it completely fills and satisfies you, AND it is healthy – that is something to truly be excited about!!!   E. B. St. George

I just want to thank you for the cooking demonstration last night. Everything was quite delicious and I do plan to use those recipes going forward. You made everything look so easy, I was quite encouraged.  Vegan food definitely has variety and is very tasty. Thanks again. You did such a rest job!  Ronnie and Jim, Mesquite NV

Thank you so much for your class and the recipes. I made the two main courses last week and they were a hit with my Husband and 3 year old. You have a gift and it’s so great of you to share your knowledge and talents with those around you. Looking forward to when I can come to one of your classes again. Thanks!  M. Roland

Thank you for your informative class at the Bosch Center. We both enjoyed it. We will be trying out the Egg-less recipe for our trip this weekend. Jerry and I both remarked at how nice it was to be able to see you preparing the foods. This truly was a nice experience.”  Kathryn & Jerry, St. George

“Your class last evening was wonderful. It amazes me when I watch and see the flashes of genius emerge while you show us how to cook well in a maximally healthy way. As someone that is still new to this diet, the genius is partly that you make it so easy for me to be firm in my resolve to do this for the rest of my life.” Hazna & Frank, St. George
