Recognizing the role of food in health and healing, Culinary Nutritionist, Stefanie Sacks, M.S. created Food Solutions, a series of integrative culinary nutrition education workshops sponsored by The Palette Fund and taking place at Urban Zen. Stefanie has dedicated her life’s work to creating a conversation between health provider, nutritionist and the consumer’s kitchen.
Sacks, who has recognized the critical role hands-on experiences with food play in shifting eating habits, is collaborating with some of the leading integrative health experts to present two workshops this year that will take each participant from the science to the plate. These events promise to build knowledge and skills, using food preparation and cooking as the centerpiece of education.
