Cooking Maison
(Cooking)Love goes through the stomach!
Do you lack the inspiration and motivation to eat healthily in the office?
Then the Cooking Maison is the right place for you!
Growing up in an Italian family with a large garden and being self-providing, fresh, home-cooked and high-quality food was part of our everyday family life.
More elaborate dishes were prepared at the weekends, whereas simple but tasty meals were served during the week.
From the age of six, I helped my mother in the kitchen and learned to cook from her. I owe my passion for it to her.
I would like to pass on this spark of my passion to you and light a fire. And who knows, maybe you too will become a Cooking Maison Chef :-D.
Does that apply to you?
Do You know the menu from the takeaway around the corner inside out and soon can't bear to look at the sandwiches and salads anymore?
Do you always cook the same 7 dishes and have lost the motivation and desire to cook?
Your food tastes fine, but you want to add that extra twist to it?
Have you been diagnosed with a food intolerance and are overwhelmed with the transition?
What you need to bring:
Basic knowledge of cooking, this is not a beginner cooking course.
A spark of joy in cooking. Cooking grumps are out of place here..
Openness to new recipe ideas and culinary experiments outside your usual comfort zone.
Your appetite and the desire for a cooking day at the Cooking Maison.
I'll show you how to prepare your meals in no time even in a busy office environment and spoil yourself with delicious dishes!
You'll learn from me how to creatively adapt and spice up "old" recipes to suit your taste and turn them into a real "Oho".
It doesn't take much to prepare a delicious meal that is suitable for everyday use.
May the spark of cooking pleasure spread to you.
This are my offers:
One-day cooking course (basic courses for beginners on request).
Kitchen Makeover: Away from convenience products and into a clean food household. After all: Only real food is clean food!
Advice and support with changing your diet including hints and tips for cooking and meal prep.

My personal Story and Experiennce
I was diagnosed with lactose intolerance in 2000. It was a big challenge at the time, because only rice and soy milk were available, and you could only buy them in health food shops at horrendous prices!
It was unclear whether I had any other intolerances. The dietary advice was not very helpful, as I had already been advised by my doctor to avoid lactose-containing foods. So, it quickly became clear that I had to help myself.

I acquired a lot of (self-)knowledge on the subject of food intolerances. Thanks to my mother's cooking skills, it was easy for me to change my diet when I was diagnosed.

I am happy to share my experiences and best practices with those affected.
