Andrea’s love of nutrition, organic whole foods and healthy lifestyle brought her to Radha Yoga and Eatery; a culinary vegetarian hot spot in Vancouver, where she has been the head chef for over 3 years. While continuing to work with Rahda, Andrea studied holistic nutrition at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition; where she graduated as a Registered Holistic Nutritionist in 2009.

Her cooking classes pair sound nutrition information with whole foods- based, beautifully prepared recipes.   Interactive and fun; her classes convey her love of real food, community and culture.

The ultimate in slow food is fermentation – responsible for gourmet foods from wine and bread to chocolate, tea and cheese; fermentation adds dimension and depth to your diet.

Fermentation is the transformative action of micro-organisms. In this hands-on class we will be focusing on lacto-fermented foods. These fermented foods can transform your meals and your health by providing easily-assimilated probiotics and enzymes in the form of delicious, zingy and lively foods.
