August 27, 2022, 9AM-5PM

This is an 8-hour intensive retreat for people who are interested in adopting a plant-based diet, eating more plant-based meals, or for those who are already following a plant-based diet and looking for ways to be more successful at this lifestyle.

Spend a full day with Chef Julia at her country home situated on 5 acres in Azle, Texas. You will be greeted with a full breakfast and a day of sessions geared toward making plant-based cooking easier and better tasting than you imagined.  Chef Julia will share her expertise in cooking, organizing, and thriving on a plant-based way of eating.

Sessions include:

1. Shopping, storing, meal prep, staples and an overview of how to set up your house for success.
2. Smart Cooking:  What to do with all the food you brought home so you don’t waste it!  Staple foods to prepare every week and more.
3. Recipes are not enough!  We all seem to have cookbooks, access to the Internet and an overwhelming number of recipes, yet I constantly hear people saying they can’t think of what to cook when they’re busy, mentally tired, hurried, or just plain tired.  We need to have a solution to this dilemma and I have one to share with you.
4. Core Recipes:  I’ll do a demo and then we’ll cook together.  We’ll make the 5 Core Recipes I’ve developed that you can use as a foundation for many meals. Each core recipe can be made into at least 3 other versions, minimizing the need to constantly think of recipes to cook.
5. Weight Training:  My personal trainer will stop by for a few minutes to share the importance of strength training and demonstrate a few exercises he does with me every week.
6. I’ll demonstrate how we can transform each Core Recipe into other meals and we’ll have a late lunch/early dinner together.
7. Dessert demo and tasting
8. How to implement this way of eating across all situations.  Tips for traveling, restaurant meals, sabotage from friends and family, and other topics requested by attendees.

Each attendee will receive a detailed document with all the information addressed in the retreat as well as all the recipes. The cost of the retreat is $350.  Space is limited so sign up as soon as possible.

Chef Julia will also send local hotel information to those who register.
