Her work has been featured by Oprah.com, O, Oprah Magazine, Reader’s Digest, HGTV, NPR, and HuffPost, among others.

Whether you’re looking to improve your health or know-how about cooking, her schools help you build the skills and confidence to get cooking and baking the way you’ve always wanted to.

OUR INSTRUCTORS HAVE BEEN FEATURED IN:
This course is a judgment-free zone. We teach you how to cook more plant-based meals, not because they’re trendy, but because they’re versatile, delicious, and they make cooking and eating more fun for all.
We don’t use labels like “vegan” or “keto” around here because we aren’t interested in being the food police. We’d rather spend our time cooking good food and sharing it.
Our recipes are 100% plant-based and gluten-free, but we’ll help you make food so good, you don’t need to “label” it.
Our healthier recipes help you make meals you love. We share tips to easily customize them to fit the diet that’s working for you today (and tomorrow).
When you’re making a meal for yourself or a pack of picky eaters, we’ll arm you with the tools, confidence, and skills to feel confident making a meal that everyone will love.
Good Food Cooking Basics is designed to change lives—let’s get cooking.
