TESTIMONIALS

"I highly recommend these classes to anyone who wishes to improve their culinary skills, while maximizing the nutritional value of their meals."

"Lori Nichols-Davies, the proprietor of the school, has put together a set of recipes and a manual based on sound nutritional principles, and delivers the sessions in a gracious and enlightening manner. She undoubtedly has tapped the best of her extensive background in this area to create this program."

"The recipes, all of which I found delicious, are constantly being revised by Lori to adapt to newer knowledge in nutrition. I noticed this with regard to which vegetable oils are currently being recommended for cooked foods, and which oils should not be heated, a question many of my own students and clients often ask me."

"Not only are traditional foods employed for their health-giving value in this cooking program but also many herbs are utilised, both for their culinary and health properties. The accompanying course manual provides excellent data, for future reference, on the use of herbs."

"Your cooking class went well beyond my expectations. This is not your average vegetarian cooking class. Your extraordinary knowledge of nutrition has changed my life, and probably saved it...Your attention to detail and caring about your students is remarkable."

"Great course; lots of information provided... and very useful information. You sure do know your stuff! I intend to take more of your courses... "

"Taking the Series 100 cooking classes has made such a profound difference in the way I now eat. Not only did I learn how to cook healthy dishes, but I learned so much about nutrition. Every class was information-packed with healthy recipes, nutrition tips, and most important, plenty of laughter and fun!

"During each class, Lori presented us with delicious and easy-to-make recipes. She was well prepared with all the ingredients, and we chopped, sliced, diced, and prepared the recipes together. She always discussed nutrition, covering topics from healthy drinking water, healthy fats and lecithin, food combining for maximum absorption, calcium rich foods, and vitamin rich herbs. The amount of information we discussed in 3 to 4 hours was amazing, as well as the variety of delicious food that we prepared and sampled.

"This class has truly changed the way I eat. Nutrition has always been very important to me, and I now have the information and recipes to make healthy eating a daily part of my lfie. Sometimes we don't realize how just a few changes in our daily eating patterns can make such a profound difference in how we feel. I am thankful that Lori has taken such care and diligence in preparing such a wonderful course. She has impressed upon me how important good nutriton is for a happy and healthy lifestyle! "

" Your enthusiasm for healthy eating is definitely contagious! The tremendous amount of research and preparation that you've put into the vegetarian workshop presentation and handouts is impressive! I'm still working my way through all the handouts! "

"I just love your classes."

"I've had a lot of fun taking all of your cooking classes. I'm very lucky to have learned so many new things at my age (seventeen) so that I can apply it to my life, and hopefully influence those around me and help make a change in people's lives — like you do for so many.

I also enjoyed our trip to the New Health Retreat, and listening to the speech given about raw foods. I now have so many options open to me, and have been exposed to many interesting people and new ways of life — all thanks to you! Thank you so much for taking the time to teach me things that will stay with me forever."
