THE NATURAL COOK STUDIO

Offering professional level courses for the home cook A natural cook is someone who uses food at hand to create their meals. Our studios teach students how to cook without recipes while making uncommonly delicious dishes. We use organic, whole, ingredients and have found that this combination of quality and the creativity of our curriculum is healing. Our programs ignite creativity using a systematic “Language Of Cooking™”. Students easily adjust their dishes to be compatible with any diet.

THE MAIN COURSE

Learn “the language of cooking without recipes” in a plant-based study of the food groups: whole dish-grain, vegetables, and beans in addition to soups, sauces, and meal composition. This course is appropriate for anyone interested in learning to cook without recipes. It may be adapted for allergies, food sensitivities for most health concerns, and stimulates a lifetime of cooking without boredom.

IMPROVISATION

This is the most important course in the Natural Cook Studio. This is our opportunity to ground the systematic approach of “the language of cooking”.
