Last night I had the honor of attending a cooking class at the Natural Gourmet Institute. It was a gluten free and vegan baking class – right up my alley!! The space was beautiful and it was SO much fun.

If you take one of their classes that are targeted for certain people with allergies, you are bound to meet people who have similar interests like you. Yes, that was the case here and I met some really nice women who all spoke my same health conscious language – it was fantastic!

It’s not everyday you spend 4+ hours talking about different flour combinations, types of sugar and so on… It was a really great experience.

I recommend you search through their public class catalog and get yourself to a class. It seems as though most people who attend their classes are quite health conscious, ready to learn something new and really excited to actually be there!

Give yourself a gift of taking a class there, you definitely won’t be disappointed. It really is a special place; Annemarie Colbin must be SO happy- her dream is definitely a success.

Natural Gourmet Class!

I’ve been really intrigued by one woman recently named Annemarie Colbin. She’s the founder of the Natural Gourmet Institute in NYC and has also written some books. I’m reading Food and Healing right now and agree with her in so many ways that it’s almost as if she’s reading my mind at times! Go figure… She believes that there’s no one diet for everyone! Perfect, that’s right in line with my thoughts exactly. She’s learned through time that one person’s food is another person’s poison and I’ve been exposed to that exact same thing. What a completely knowledgeable woman who offers GREAT advice and wisdom. I highly recommend her books and am actually going to be attending a class at the Natural Gourmet Institute next week, which I will clearly write all about. I look forward to sharing more info that I learn from her. Stay tuned.
