Enough of recipes and theory...this program is about real hands-on practical skills
If you are anything like me a few years back, you have tried it all, the food network channel, the stacks of cooking books, the healthy recipes blogs… just to find out years later, you have been not only wasting your time and money, but you still don’t have the confidence to prepare a meal with ingredients you have on hand!
You have been fooled to follow recipes all along. You have been taught to cook chicken, beef or veal while you should have learned the basic cooking methods so you could cook anything.
I know. It's not your fault!
A real chef doesn’t follow recipes, they learn dependable, reliable and repeatable cooking methods so they can apply it to any food, with success.
Have you ever followed a recipe just to find out you are allergic to a certain ingredient and don’t really know how to replace it?
Have you ever tried to cook following the exact ingredients and time to cook it to find out it's totally undercooked?
Have you ever tried a recipe that seemed to be pretty tasty to find out that it’s totally unappealing to your taste buds?
Have you ever found a great recipe just to find out you are out of one major ingredient and that you can’t instantly go get?
I have been through it myself as well and I know it can be very frustrating, EVEN if I considered myself a pretty good cook! But the good part is, I can help you!
For me, it all started when my son started having allergies. I tried recipes that turned out delicious and tried some that turned out very bad and dry too. I even attempted my own recipes with great success and great failures, but never really knew where I went wrong or how to fix it.
Can you relate?
My passion to cook better and healthier meals for my family guided me to culinary school. That's when I finally figured out why I was stuck and what cookbooks will never tell you.
Do you want to cook delicious and healthy meals for your family?
You should be confident enough to open up the fridge, assess what you have on hand and be able to create something your family will love in less than 30 minutes. You can, if you stop following someone else's recipes and just learn the fundamentals, the basics. You will be able to apply them and repeat them knowing what the end result will be with total confidence. Over time, you will start being super creative and will have endless ideas for your next meals.
Now that you know this, what are you going to do about it?
Trial and error is one way to go about it, but it can be time-consuming and make you waste money on ingredients trying to figure it all out on your own. If you want to learn fast, that isn’t the way to go.
Going to culinary school is another great option but maybe it isn’t always a feasible solution, maybe you have kids to look after during the day and a culinary school isn’t in your area.
If you would like to learn how to cook healthy and allergen-free meals so you can feel your best without spending hours in the kitchen, or you are auto-immune and need to follow a specific diet to get better but don’t know where to start, or you’ve just been diagnosed with allergies and can’t figure it out the substitution puzzle in the kitchen to make meals taste good for everyone, this course is for you.
In the beginning, I started sharing the skills I learned in culinary school with my kids at home, and then with some kids at school, with cooking classes. That is where I realized how it could change someone’s life to know the basics.
We all want to cook delicious, healthy meals, with ingredients we choose to eat, without wasting time reading someone else’s recipe and confidently knowing how it’s going to turn out.
Cooking is science. When you learn the basics of cooking, you know why and how to cook because you use dependable methods to cook over and over, you’re not guessing anymore.
Free yourself from someone else's recipes. You start looking at them with a different eye, more like inspiration and not a set of rules you have to follow. You can actually make your very own recipes and get creative with it.
With some basics under your belt, you can create endless meals and never run out of ideas for your meals. You will be able to adapt them to your very own needs.
You will feel like you finally gained control in your food choices and understand how you can feel better without sacrificing the taste.
Cook healthier and tastier meals, even on a busy schedule.
Save money and have high quality food fitting your budget, and stop wasting food.
Right after I graduated from culinary school, I found a passion for teaching others how to cook and be in control of the ingredients.
What I found rewarding is two of my students (7 and 9 years old) came back to me and told me that they had cooked at home for their mom that day without a recipe, with what they had in the fridge, with the exact technique I had taught them at school the day before. They said they were able to adjust the seasoning and ingredients for their family to like it and it was a big success! If kids can do it, you can too!
I have been sharing this formula with my friends, family members, my kids, other kids, some serious home cooks, and health-conscious people for a while now. The result has been nothing but outstanding. People have made transformational changes in the way they see and practice cooking, one step at a time.
And the part that I am most proud of is that I made this same formula available to you by creating a step by step online program so you can access it wherever and whenever you want!
The Fitness Chef Formula is a step by step online program where you can be empowered to create unique dishes with confidence, knowing you are eating healthy and making sustainable changes without being frustrated about the results. You’ll actually experience how fun it can be in the kitchen.
I created this program that can teach you quickly how to cook to get optimal quality food on your plate that everyone can enjoy. I'll take you from rookie to confident in the kitchen following The Fitness Chef Formula.

Yes. As long as you have an internet connection you can access the lessons whenever you like.
Yes, but I strongly recommend starting at the beginning. I created the modules so they build onto each other as you go. You will need the information from module 1 to apply in modules 2, 3 and so on. There is no need to skip a module, you can learn at your own pace and revisit any module as many times as you need, you have access to this program for life.
Yes. I will teach you how to substitute most of the key ingredients in a recipe so it does the same job and create a healthier version. I will show you how to cook without the 10 main allergens but feel free to use them if you want to.
