Robin Gentry McGee is a whole food cooking instructor, chef, and health coach, as well as creator of our new line soups: Just Great Foods from a Conscious Kitchen. She will explore a different menu each week while discussing how to read labels and identify hidden ingredients to avoid. The healing properties of foods and the benefits of eating a plant-based organic diet will also be covered. Robin will also offer an optional Dorothy Lane Market store tour.

Class 1 — The Basics of Whole Foods Cooking
The first class will focus on stocking the whole foods kitchen and the benefits of eating an organic whole food-based diet. We will discuss a “healthy kitchen makeover” and create our very own high powered morning smoothie and fresh vegetable juice cocktail. We will also create quick and healthy snacks for those on the go.

Class 2 — Art of Soup

The kitchen will fill with fabulous aromas as we prepare Three Bean Chili, Vegetarian Vegetable, and Creamy Carrot Coconut.

Class 3 — What Do I Do with Beans and Legumes ?
We will create four different high-powered meals simply using a base of black beans and rice.

Class 4 — Putting it all Together
Our final class will focus on a five-course feast: a healthy cocktail, soup, salad, main course, and a healthy & delicious dessert!
