	personal note from darshana
	The sizzling news is the announcement of the Fruition Health Culinary School. We are the only cooking school in San Francisco that offers completely HANDS ON cooking classes. Meaning YOU do the chopping, stirring, sautéing and all! If you have ever been to one of our cooking classes you will know that these classes are more than just the nuts and bolts of cooking. They are both a secondary and primary food experience. In addition to learning the skills of cooking we put a priority on education. We want you to leave every class with the nutritional know how to take charge of YOUR HEALTH in the kitchen. Most classes will be taught by Flan Kramer. Flan received her culinary education at The Natural Gourmet Cookery School in NYC. Flan’s love for food and health intoxicates you. She is so inspiring you can’t help but make healthy food choices every day. I will be showing up here and there for a guest teaching appearance. I’ll keep you posted. And stay tuned for our new guest teacher schedule as well. To start off the new year in health we are announcing our new quick, easy and healthy cooking classes and our advanced cooking class series in 2008. Each class includes a delicious, organic 6 course meal and an opportunity to hang out with a cool group of women (and sometimes a few men). It’s a cooking party! We look forward to seeing you there! Chow for now, PS To wet your appetite stay tuned… Next week the announcement of another amazing program that will make cooking and shopping as easy as 1, 2, 3! back to top
