No food rules! Instead, food RULES!
We have so many food rules about what, when, how much and why to eat that food is seen as the problem not the solution. At the Taste Workshop we explore how we prioritize the most important thing we do each day that most affects our health and well-being.
The Taste Workshop blog focuses on how food offers us solutions through raising your tasteabilities, finding balance in your eating lifestyle through healthy cuisine and using culinary nutrition for fabulous flavorful foods (FFFs) that offer optimal health.
Explore with me how your taste buds and enjoyment of food can yield great health and eating happiness.
