Cooking

I'm so glad you're here! 

What started with one cookbook and a need to get healthier inside and out has grown into a business. I've been in love with cooking healthy energizing food for as long as I can remember. I was born and raised in Philadelphia, and grew up surrounded by art and music; nurtured by my family, and propelled by my innate need to create. 

I believe food is medicine. My focus is helping you add more plants into your diet. I’ll help you turn your kitchen into a healing, grounding environment.

Tired of shelling out cash for premade nut milks full of sugar? Want to simplify your morning routine? In this class you'll learn how to make your own nut milks and smoothies. Nut milks are a welcome addition to your morning routine. They're wonderful in everything from coffee to cereal to even baking. Smoothies pack a nutritious punch first thing in the morning or post workout and they travel well. Learn how to create two nut milks with a nut milk bag* and your blender as well as two smoothies. 

*A nut milk bag will need to be purchased, along with a few ingredients for this class.

Ingredients:

1  pint raw almonds 
1 pint pecans 
Water
4 Bananas 
1 cup all natural Peanut butter
1 big handful of Kale or Spinach 
1 cup fresh blueberries 
1 cup fresh raspberries

As a certified holistic health coach and personal chef I've been cooking and teaching since 2008, specializing in vegan + vegetarian cooking. I meet my students where they're at. With each lesson we'll build a strong foundation of healthy cooking basics from salad dressing to dips, frittatas and plant based swaps.There's no right time to start. All you need is a desire to try new things. Progress not perfection. I email my students the recipes we've made after every class, so they can have an ongoing collection of go to recipes.

My students have expressed having an easier time in their day to day schedule within the first month and more confidence in the kitchen and an overall better sense of wellbeing within the first 3 months.

*My prices are for private one on one classes. Please message me for group rates. *

Emily was a patient & knowledgeable instructor. She was easy to talk to & answered all my questions. She made cooking my first frittata an enjoyable experience! I highly recommend cooking with Emily!

Emily's teaching exceeded all my expectations for the four lessons she gave me on healthy cooking.  She arrived punctually, well-prepared, and brimming with cheerful, well-informed advice that allowed me to gain far more confidence with my efforts in the kitchen! I highly recommend her! I couldn't have been happier.

These are my favorite breakfast tacos! I've made them for guests at my B + B and they're always a hit! If you're not a fan of peppers, feel free to leave them out. 

Vegan Eggy Breakfast Tacos (serves 4)

Ingredients:
16 oz Extra Firm Tofu
2 Tbsps of Vegan Butter or Olive Oil
4 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 tsp Turmeric 
1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
2 tsp Dijon Mustard
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Black Salt/Kala Namak (you may have to special order this)
2/3 cup non dairy milk (I used oat)
1 15 oz can of black beans, rinsed and drained
1 small can of diced green chiles 
8 corn tortillas 

To serve: 
Sliced Avocado
Blistered Shishito Peppers (optional)  (if they're in season)

1. Mash the tofu with a fork,  but leave some big chunks. Set aside.
2. In a separate bowl, make your sauce. Add your Nutritional Yeast, Turmeric, Cayenne Pepper, Garlic Powder, Black Salt and Dijon Mustard into a mixing bowl. Pour over non dairy milk and whisk until well combined. You'll smell the black salt, but it won't be that strong once incorporated in the bowl. Set sauce aside.
3. Then, over medium  heat, add your Black Beans, a pinch of Cumin, Green Chiles + S & P to taste. Mix until well combined + heat through. 
4. Melt your vegan butter or oil in a pan over medium high heat. Add tofu and cook until lightly brown around 5 minutes. Break up any huge chunks.
5. Add your sauce + mix through. Cook until you've reached your ideal consistency. A little sauciness is ok. 
6. Add your bean mixture to the tofu + combine well.
7. Warm up your tortillas and plate.

Enjoy!
