It has been a passion of ours at Chef Alyssa’s Kitchen to not only teach both classic and modern cooking techniques and strengthen home cooks, but to do so in a wholesome way. We have been in development on this workshop for quite some time and we are so excited to offer it!

Our Mission with this 2-day workshop is to help provide nutrition-forward information on recipes and techniques that will better prepare you when catering to your own individualized health plan. All stages of life can present the need to understand this information and we want you to feel confident in the kitchen with whatever you are up against.
