Around the world, we find ourselves facing global epidemics of obesity, Type 2 Diabetes and other predominantly diet-related diseases. To address these public health crises, we urgently need to explore innovative strategies for promoting healthful eating. There is strong evidence that global increases in the consumption of heavily processed foods, coupled with cultural shifts away from the preparation of food in the home, have contributed to high rates of preventable, chronic disease. In this course, learners will be given the information and practical skills they need to begin optimizing the way they eat. This course will shift the focus away from reductionist discussions about nutrients and move, instead, towards practical discussions about real food and the environment in which we consume it. By the end of this course, learners should have the tools they need to distinguish between foods that will support their health and those that threaten it. In addition, we will present a compelling rationale for a return to simple home cooking, an integral part of our efforts to live longer, healthier lives.

Sharing food goes beyond the need to satiate and nourish oneself because it involves creating a group of people to do it with. Communicating with dishes will make you satisfied and serene. It is easier to make biscuits that imply the message ‘I love you’ than to write it in a letter. Sharing and cooking are gestures that fill the kitchen with fragrances, that recall childhood memories, the joy of seeing friends, the act of breaking bread and eating it together, of standing in front of the cooker each giving advice on how to prepare the same recipe but in a different way. Love and passion are terms that describe the relationship with food, because cooking is an act of love to be shared.

Learn Pok Pok chef Andy Ricker’s process for faithfully recreating Northern Thai cuisine, and then apply his insight to a favorite cuisine of your own. In this 45-minute class, Andy goes over the importance of the historical and cultural context of dishes, finding native ingredients, utilizing endemic tools and techniques, and even considering the proper means of consumption. As Andy says, this is less of a cooking class and more of an exercise to look deeper into the food that we eat.
