Learn to Cook Your Way to Better Health
PCRM-Certified Food for Life Classes — Real Food, Real Results
These aren't your average cooking classes. Every session is built on evidence-based nutrition science from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine — and taught by someone who used this exact knowledge to reverse four chronic conditions.
"You don't have to be a chef. You don't have to be perfect. You just have to show up — and I'll show you the rest."
More Than Recipes — A Whole New Way of Eating
Each Food for Life class gives you the knowledge AND the skills to make lasting change. You'll walk away with more than a recipe — you'll walk away with a new relationship with food.

I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of your classes. You showed us how to create dishes that were absolutely delicious and healthy. It really opened my eyes to what vegan means and how the food can taste really good! Deb, you are calm, straightforward yet very encouraging. Each Saturday you showed up with the same enthusiasm when hearing our stories for the week. Our small group of ladies were fun and engaging which made the experience even more enjoyable. Whether they choose a full vegan lifestyle or incorporate some vegan dishes into their weekly meals, you helped to change the way we think about food. Keep sharing your knowledge and continuing to educate others on their health journey. I hope everyone takes the opportunity to Get Down with Deb! Thanks again for all the tips!

My biggest “aha” moment was in finding out that eating chicken, fish and other foods that contain fat are not good for us and that plant based foods are much better for our health. I look at food much differently now. 2. This class made me feel “energized”. I feel I can face the challenges of the day with all I have learned. 3. I start my day with steel cut oatmeal with almond milk, blueberry pineapple sea moss gel, chia seeds and cashews. I cook a pot of the oatmeal, make a serving to eat that morning and refrigerate 3 servings in jars for the next 3 mornings. It’s satisfying and healthy. 4. I enjoyed the class. Your instructions were excellent. The class videos and pdf were informative. I would recommend this class to my family and friends.

I realized that everything I currently have in my pantry can be used to accommodate my plant based diet and inexpensive. 2) The class made me feel encouraged and empowered to walk into a better healthy me 3) I enjoyed all the meal prepared in person but what blew my mind was the preparation of tofu and black salt taking the appearance and taste of scramble eggs. All the recipes are easy to prepare. 4) I was especially in awe of the tip I learned to help with my weight loss.....I WILL LOOK AT MY PLATE DIFFENTLY AND LOVE THE POWER PLATE CONCEPT. I was inspired by all of the attendees and their journey leading them up to the class. Deb was an amazing instructor. She felt like family. She was very encouraging and made us all feel whether we want to commit to plant base or not, the tools provided would help us on our journey.
