The Conscious Cook

We enjoyed the chef and the atmosphere — tasty stuff too!

This place fell short of expectations. I thought we were going to be cooking along with the chef and then eating our creations after. Boy was I wrong! This place was located in a very dark strip mall of offices. We all sat in chairs while watching the chef follow a recipe. She didn’t even have all the ingredients. I really don’t need to watch someone follow a recipe, I can do that at home and isn’t that what the food network is all about? Anyway, she made a beet smoothie, a beet salad and a beet stew… needless to say, if you don’t like beets, you are SOL. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

What we all really do need. to be more Conscious in life and enjoy it at the same time! It was great to be able to have my meetup up learn and eat the yummy delights for dinner and heard lots of great feedback. We all had a great time! Thank you!

The class I attended was Exercise Nutrition. The instructor was Melissa Salazar and she was GREAT! I learned so much in a short amount of time. I will surely incorporate the suggestions she had into my diet and maybe even make a few of the recipes she shared with us — YUM. Definitely recommend this place. Will be back again soon.

’The Conscious Cook’ is a wonderful establishment where they offer live cooking classes that not only educates you about eating healthy, but also introduces you to a whole new world of foods.
I attended a Vegan meetup here and was introduced to a live demo of ‘Plant Based Nutrition for Cancer Prevention.’ The owner, Sadie King and vegan chef and Health Coach, Landry Fuller prepared easy, flavorful dishes that were full of vitamins and antioxidants to keep your immune system strong and your body healthy. This was a great event to attend for those who want to try and change their diet and improve their health. We learned how cancer can be prevented by making smarter food choices including nutrient-​rich fruits, vegetables, fiber, herbs and spices.
‘The Conscious Cook’ also offers an array of classes from all types of ethnic cuisine to themed dessert classes. It’s also a fun way to bring a group of friends to and participate in. You don’t even have to be a vegan and/​or vegetarian to enjoy these dishes. Just have an open mind. :)
Check out their website for healthy plant-​based cooking classes, health and wellness coaching for individual clients and groups who are seeking healthier eating and more balanced lifestyles, monthly programs as well as talks, workshops and cooking classes. They even sell products such as the Saladmaster, which has been shown to be the best method for cooking.

You are what you eat. I am a true believer of that. If you want to live a long and healthy life, having a healthy diet is the first step. In my opinion, plant based nutrition has been the most impactful and beneficial lifestyle for me. The food is amazingly delicious and that in turn affects my mood and overall well-​being. I have never felt more energetic, youthful, and vibrant.
‘The Conscious Cook’ gets my thumbs up ! It’s a business that I support and know people can learn and benefit from. They are really passionate about what they do and it shows in their food.
So grab a group of friends or fly solo and attend a class. Get VEGUCATED peeps ! :)

Michelle and Sadie are knowledgeable about nutrition and flavor. I had so much fun at the cooking class a few weeks ago and look forward to the next. I often ask Michelle for advice regarding replacements for dairy or sugar and each time she’s provided me with great recommendations and my recipes are just as delicious with less fat and refined sugar!

Good place for cooking lessons, I went to one lesson with friends. They were all about healthy dining and no preservatives — really nice to see!

My boyfriend bought me a class because we want to start eating healthier. The class was fun and informative. We’ve used several of the recipes we learned and have really changed the way we cook. Also used a wonderful recipes from their newsletter the other day. Great place!

Chef Michelle is awesome!

Really enjoyed Chef Michelle. She provided so much valuable info about the ingredients she used. From health benefits to various uses. Will be back!
