Welcome to the Course
(Transcript of video 4:50 mins)
Welcome to The Power of Connecting with Your Inner Cook. A totally different approach to food and food preparation, particularly designed for those who cook for themselves or cook for just two.
It's designed to be self-paced, so you can access the materials when you like and work at your own pace, you can binge and move through everything at once but as a lot of the exercises and a lot of the content in this program is about you reflecting on how you approach food and food preparation.
You may find that you want to do a little bit each week and allow some time to think about and reflect on what the different modules present to you, as a journey of connecting to your Inner Cook and finding a way that you can prepare food easily, enjoyably, save yourself time and save yourself money.
In this little video, I want to give you a quick overview of what the course is. There are six modules.
Module 1
In the first module you're going to meet your Inner Cook. This is a module where I share my eight questions to find out who that Inner Cook is and let you reflect on what's hidden inside. Even if you don't like cooking you have an inner cook. Understanding what you like and don't like about food and food prep really empowers you to be able to make informed decisions.
Module 2
In module two we're going to look at what I call the four foundation elements of a just4Me meal. I break things down into an easy approach of understanding. What do I need to have in my kitchen to be able to prepare food to delight me? In this module I be sharing my fabulous fun 'spin the wheel' to help you make decisions. It's almost an online game that you can play to help overcome the 'I don't know what to cook and I can't be bothered'.
Module 3
In module three we then start to look at what rules you have around food. Your rules from family, your rules from your diet, your rules from your culture. Your rules from shopping and your rules on food waste. We have so many rules that guide us, and we have a lot of fun playing with that.
Module 4
In module four we look at how to create a recipe. What is the serve size and how do I go about writing a recipe? Because one of the outputs of this course is you will write your own recipe book and if that sounds really daunting, it's a much easier task than you think once you have collected the information in modules, one, two, and three.
Having written two cookbook, I can assure you that it is a very doable task and particularly when you're writing for your taste and your style of cooking. Your little workbook manual will become a very valuable resource. I know mine sits in the kitchen next to where I do all my cooking and it's my go-to when I need inspiration for what can I make for dinner.
Module 5
In module five, we start to explore the concept of a mood food playlist and start to see the link from contemporary research of how food governs our mood and how mood governs the food we like to eat and what are some of the things we can do to prepare ourselves for different moods to have in our pantry and our kitchen stocked with ingredients that we love, to be able to create dishes that help us maintain the best possible mood.
Module 6
And then in module six, we're going to look at something quite different in the area of food. It's what I call restore strategies. We frequently use food to restore our mood but sometimes it's not the best choice or the only choice. I'm going to share with you nine other strategies for restoring your mood in addition to food.
So they're the six modules I'm excited to be sharing.
I look forward to seeing you at one of the live Q and A's that will happen once a month. You have information on the website and in your welcome pack to how that works and the zoom link.
I will see you then.
