Cooking with Heart Series – an Interactive Cooking Series

Cooking with Heart interactive Cooking Series is an innovative way to inspire living a delicious, healthy lifestyle. We focus on demonstrating how to solve common problems like how to get a meal on the table in minutes, changing up flavors to make it delicious, or what to make when you are tired and have no time, or what to do if you aren’t a fan of vegetables, or cooking for one person, or haven’t cooked in a while, or want new delicious recipes. All these and more are covered in the series of six weekly cooking classes.

Now, out of an abundance of caution to help protect our community, staff and patients during the COVID-19 pandemic, UnityPoint Health – Trinity is offering the popular cooking series virtually. You can watch from the comfort of your very own home using your desktop computer, iPad or smartphone using the Zoom app.

With the virtual offering each participant will be mailed a binder with over 25 recipes, handouts, and goal sheets. Product images for ingredients in the recipes highlighted during each class are emailed weekly so you can easily shop for them at the store. Additionally, a unique feature for virtual participants is that during each class your instructor will demonstrate two key recipes and allow time for participants to make the recipes in their own kitchens and ask questions. It is just like learning by doing under the guidance of your very own private chef.
Your doctor may have recommended a heart healthy diet or an anti-inflammatory diet or plant-focused eating, but how do you do that in your kitchen? Or on your plate? You will gain the confidence to make the recipes on your own by the end of this informative series.

Eating is meant to be an enjoyable experience. Register now to experience what delicious cooking for health looks and tastes like. The class is taught by a culinary nutritionist dietitian. The classes are offered Tuesday evenings from 5:30 to 7 p.m. The six-week course is $99 and is payable online. The next series of classes begins on Tuesday, July 21st at 5:30 p.m. Anyone who registers for this virtual series will also be invited to attend the full series in person once the cooking series resumes at the Trinity Rock Island campus at no additional cost.
