The Food Foundation Course Menu

Week 1- This class explores what to eat in the morning. Learn how to gently cleanse the body from within to make way for better eating. We'll make teas that tantalize, juices that recharge the battery, stewed fruit and an energizing porridge to give you the perfect start. And you'll discover some surprising lifestyle practices that take moments to do and have far reaching benefits. This session sets the stage for creating change and positive everyday habits.

Week 2- This session redefines lunch! Make a change to living foods that feed the cells and keep you going all day without the afternoon slump. We'll make the fabulous Super Salad, the Chickpea Salad, Hommus and a toasted Seed Sprinkle. We'll talk about preparing legumes for smooth digestion, foods that are high in calcium other than dairy, and discuss longevity and mineralizing the body. This class is bursting with colour, taste and food that feels like it's doing you good as you eat it!

Week 3- Moving more into dinner style foods, we'll make a divine Dahl (a mild lentil curry), get brown rice right once and for all, bake tofu with digestive supportive spices that remove the word bland from the dish, and steam veggies to perfection. Issues for discussion include food combining, where to stick your microwave and the less salubrious side of soy. This class is a winner- a favourite every time!

Week 4- Learn how to use miso in the Miso Vegetable Soup, bake veggies as a meal, whip up an irresistible Guacamole dip and grind aromatic sesame seeds into a calcium rich condiment. We'll discuss the all important topic of alkalizing the body to prevent disease and ways to reduce the buildup of acidity so common in our modern lifestyles. This class is serious fun.

Week 5- In this class we'll create Pumpkin Soup with an Asian twist, rediscover the ‘forgotten food' Millet, explore tempeh (what is it and how to make it taste good!) and stir-fry up a storm. We'll also further explore the industry issues with consuming meat and dairy, and ways to reduce exposure to hormone disrupting properties in plastics.

Week 6- A time-saving Watercress and Potato soup, Buckwheat- the whole grain, not the pancake mix, Miso Spread, a great alternative to peanut butter and Vegemite, the 'Beta Salad' and the always popular fruit balls. This Class draws together our exploration of health issues, Super Foods and lifestyle tips.
