Many people think that switching your diet to one that incorporates more plants and less animals also means that you will become protein deficient or lack energy.  However, what many people actually experience is that switching to a whole foods plant based diet improves performance (including physical and mental).

In this class, you’ll learn:

  • delicious, vibrant, health supportive recipes (Leslie will demo them for you and you get to taste)
  • healthy sources of plant based protein
  • good quality sources of fat
  • good quality sources of iron and how to increase iron uptake
  • why some foods may even reduce your performance

Thank you for your interest in my cooking classes. This class is now full.  Please email Leslie if you’d like to be on a waiting list.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Leslie’s vegan macrobiotic cooking classes are for people who seek a healthier lifestyle and a natural approach to diet and healing. Learn how to bring more balance, flexibility, and joy into your life through the power of food. In each class, you will discover the importance and health benefits of a whole foods plant-based diet. Only the freshest, organic, seasonal ingredients are used in a variety of sumptuous and enticing ways. The recipes shared in the class are easy to prepare, even if you have just a little bit of cooking experience.

Class Structure
Classes include an introductory lecture, demonstration by Leslie of the recipes, and educational material.The atmosphere is fun, casual, interactive, and friendly. All questions about the day’s topic welcomed during the cooking classes. We end by enjoying a delicious taste of all the food, followed by cooperative cleanup.To use fewer paper products, please feel free to bring your own eating utensils (plate, bowl, chopsticks, etc). There is a sink to wash up at the end.

Special Considerations
Please note that for these classes:

  • Demo only by the teacher (not hands on by the students).
  • This particular class focuses on a mix between healthy vegan recipes and the macrobiotic way. Macrobiotic philosophies will be discussed.
  • Hawaii is a diverse place, and we are likely to have people of many different backgrounds in class. Please remember that everyone is always doing the best they can, and we all in different places on the journey. Thus, when interacting with others, constructive and supportive comments are requested at all times.
  • Refunds are offered if the teacher is notified within 24-hours of the class. PayPal fees will be deducted for credit card refunds. Payment is not transferable to other classes and no shows will not be refunded.
