Food for me is a core issue. To attend to any healing process (or performance) without

attending to diet is to miss the opportunity to meet the ailment on a core level.

Whether it is for sports nutrition, food sensitivities, major illness or mental/emotional distress food is in the mix as a causative agent and as a restorative agent. This is the way it is and this is what I have practised for 30 years as a chef in private catering, restaurants, retreat centres, and most importantly as principle cook at home. Once upon a time it was heresy to hold such belief but for 30 years I have observed every major health organisation accept diet has a role. In heart disease, mental illness, stress patterns, everywhere.

Each moment, it comes back to food, each lesson changed my diet.


 

Cookery Demonstrations

Cooking is an intuitive process for me. It was once said by Gordon Ramsey he could teach anyone to cook in a day! I agree. The thrust of these cookery demo's if to demonstrate the fundamental methods of cooking in one day. Backed up by your taste buds being educated, learning to listening to your intuition and remembering to decorate the plate you should be able to greatly improve your ability. It is a common natural talent I believe we all have, after all we all have to eat!.

Each demo follows this outline; the simple things work on a day in day out basis. For consistency in digestive health and emotions this could not be any more important. In my practise as a natural foods chef, following the route of choosing meals, ingredients and methods always stem from the intuition of many things.

For me, this is where and why the magic, the alchemy comes in. Meals become dynamic events, for you, your family and friends and their health.

Food Coaching Program

Diet and nutrition is highly contentious due to the diversity of human body types, individual genetics, conflicting research & commercial interest.

The Food Coaching Program is based on the Holistic Food Pyramid (see right) which I find is open enough to be adaptable to all situations. Clearly two twin brothers, one working in a physical job in the outdoors, the other in a sedentary mentally based indoors, will require different nutritional requirments. So where do you begin? How do you know? For some insights, click the image on the right to see the outlines of the Food Coaching Program
