A Free Hour of coaching in person, on Skype or on the phone with Esalen workshop leader Leslie Cerier.

Beyond having great recipes, cooking and eating for health and vitality means to engage your senses as you cook from your heart. In this hour of kitchen coaching, Leslie Cerier, aka "The Organic Gourmet", can help you manage your cooking process effectively and efficiently, from setting up your kitchen to shopping seasonally. You will also get ideas on leftover management, enhancing flavor, substituting ingredients, using garnishes to dress up the dishes, and how to make cooking less of a chore and more in your flow.

Leslie Cerier is an internationally recognized chef, educator, author, recipe developer, wellness and kitchen coach, farm to table caterer specializing in local, seasonal, organic, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free cooking for health, vitality and pleasure. She is passionate about helping people expand their palettes and leads cooking workshops and chef trainings all over the world. She will be teaching Improvisational Cooking for Health and Vitality at Esalen March 30-April 4.
