We all know that what we eat has an impact on our health. Yet despite our grand plan to eat “healthier”, we find ourselves slipping back into old routines.
The Savory exists to help you develop and stick to a new way of eating by focusing on two essential elements: carefully selected ingredients optimized for flavor and nutritional value, and cooking techniques that will enable you to easily prepare incredible-tasting and healthful meals.
This is not a diet, meal plan, or marketing gimmick.
The Savory is a food-based approach to health grounded in ingredient quality and cooking instruction.
Let’s talk about fat: Contrary to popular belief, fat plays an essential role in vitamin absorption, hormone production, and cardiometabolic health. Fat lends itself to satiation while contributing incredible and unique flavors depending on the source (e.g., olive oil vs. beef tallow).
Let’s talk about regenerative agriculture: Regenerative farming often produces more nutrient-dense food by building healthier, more biologically active soil that helps plants and animals accumulate more vitamins, minerals, beneficial fats, and protective plant compounds. Because of this, nutrient-dense foods tend to taste better. Just ask the Michelin star chefs who frequent the Ferry Plaza and Union Square farmers’ markets of San Francisco and New York!
Fortunately, scratch cooking needs little “active” time, that is, time when you are actively preparing food, like chopping vegetables or searing meat. In fact, scratch cooking actually saves you time, since the dishes require mostly “inactive” time and can be made in larger batches.
Cost savings are core to the program. The Savory’s sourcing considers cost alongside quality. By purchasing a majority of your ingredients directly from carefully selected farms, you can save hundreds, even thousands of dollars a month compared to shopping at the grocery store and dining out.
The Savory is a customizable program that starts with where you are and is built around what you would like to change.
We’ll start by looking at the food that’s in your kitchen and how you currently prepare meals. Together, we will explore the benefits of quality ingredients and where to source them, learn the fundamentals of scratch cooking, and build the repertoire to make cooking for your health a consistent part of your life.
By the end of the program, you will have the knowledge to utilize food as a tool for your own health and well-being.
Let’s discuss your goals and where you’d like support. From there, we’ll build a program custom to you.
I’ve been cooking all my life, but it was only when I learned fundamental techniques and where to source truly incredible ingredients that everything clicked. Cooking became not only a joy, but a way to care for my health and well-being. Through The Savory, I share my knowledge to help you find the same possibilities and rhythm in your kitchen and daily life.
