New York, NY (PRWEB) October 26, 2015 -- Natural Gourmet Institute (NGI), the leading health-supportive culinary school announces the launch of its Culinary Nutrition Certificate Program in Los Angeles. Previously, the 2-week course was offered exclusively at NGI’s culinary facility in New York City.
The course, which has consistently sold out to capacity, explores the science of nutrition, nutrition in the marketplace, trends, specialized diets (e.g. gluten-free, vegan, Paleo), food allergies and intolerances, food synergies, menu planning, and more. Upon completion of the course, students will have learned how to incorporate the fundamentals of nutrition into their culinary perspectives.
“The course was the perfect blend of theory and application,” says program graduate Nadja Pinnavaia. “It is challenging to devise a menu that meets certain nutritional requirements, such as developing a menu for a diabetic patient, and challenging to ensure the meal is also tasty, balanced, visually attractive, and seasonal. I now feel I have a solid foundation with which to explain why something may be healthy or not.” Fellow graduate Rebecca Ffrench says, “I am a food writer and I wanted some type of base knowledge about nutrition to supplement my work. Other than four-year college programs, there were very few options.”
The program will be taught by Kayleen St. John, MS, RD, and well as guest lecturers who are experts in their fields. The program will take place at Cook LA in Studio City February 15-26, 2016, Monday through Friday. Students will receive a certificate of completion in Culinary Nutrition.
