Food is Medicine

Learn to cook and eat well with two world-renowned chefs: Chef Lois Ellen Frank and Chef Walter Whitewater.

Chef Lois and Chef Walter bring empowerment to the kitchen, using locally sourced ingredients to create healthy, indigenous cuisine. You'll learn essential home-cooking skills, how to chop produce, build flavor, and cook using traditional, home-style methods, guided by talented local cooks.

This class is also a chance to bond with family, friends, or loved ones by prepping and cooking together in groups. At the end, everyone gathers to share and enjoy each other's dishes! A reminder that food is not just medicine, but community!

Chef Lois Ellen Frank will share how local, organic ingredients can support overall health and wellness. Chef Walter Whitewater speaks to the deeper philosophy of "food as medicine," drawing on how healthy eating habits play a role in long-term well-being.
