Culinary Grief Workshops – The Power of Home-Cooked Meals

Grieving is exhausting and since we get the basic energy we need from the food we eat, it is important to establish a new meal routine around three simple yet highly nutritious and tasty meals a day.

The aim of my Culinary Grief Workshops is to provide you with much-needed support within the safe environment of a community of fellow bereaved partners who understand better than anyone what you are going through.

Meal preparation with participants

The workshops

For a bereaved partner, it can be so much more difficult to cope with grocery shopping, cooking and eating for one. You may think that cooking for one takes too much time and effort. Nothing could be further from the truth!

My Culinary Grief Workshops will give you all the nutritional knowledge you need to make healthy food choices on your own. You will never again be confused by what you see or read in the media. Everything you will learn in the workshops is based on the latest scientific evidence.

How does it work?

The number of participants is limited to a maximum of 9 people. This ensures that everyone gets the attention they need and has their own workspace to practice their cooking skills. You can work alone or pair up with a fellow participant if you prefer. It is entirely up to you.

During each workshop, we will prepare two simple, tasty and nutritious dishes which we will share during our lunch break. We will also explore easy ways to mix and match ingredients to make sure that our diet is as varied as possible and keeping our blood sugar levels stable.

Although these dishes are satisfying in themselves, we will also look at how to prepare healthy ‘treats’ for when we feel the need for other comforting food.

During the breaks there is plenty of room to discuss common day-to-day-problems you have encountered and to share individual coping strategies.
