Cooking is an expression of LOVE. Something I have experienced first hand so many times but it wasn’t always like that. I used to spend so much time at work that cooking used to be something I had to do, rather than something I actively used to do for my well-being.
Italians believe that one of the greatest loves is the love you put in your cooking. Whether that’s for your own food or for others.
Unlocking a positive cooking mindset makes it easier to infuse passion into the cooking process. Creating meal becomes a form of self-love and love for others. Those days of cooking feeling like an everyday chore starts to fade.
The SELF-LOVE COOKING CLUB is all about helping busy overworked women to understand and experience cooking with love for themselves.
This unique self-care cooking membership is set up so that you can carve that time on your diary to make time for yourself, disconnect from work and learn to cook dishes that will fill you with love and goodness.
Up until the 30th November, I am offering a one month free trial to any woman who wants to grab an opportunity to experience cooking in a positive light.
3 live online cooks longs (up to 60 mins) that you can experience from the comfort of your own kitchen throughout December for FREE.
Sign up to the monthly membership (link in my bio) with code: FREESELFLOVE to grab this amazing opportunity. After that month you cancel your membership at any time. No strings attached.
First session is this Saturday 2nd Dec, 11am.
I’ll see you in there.
