"How To Cook Simple, Healthy Meals
That Replenish, Fuel And Cleanse
Your Body - In Less Than 30 Minutes!"
by Heather Nauta, Registered Holistic Nutritionist
Quinoa Lavender Cookies
If you need help making quick, healthy meals that everyone at the table will love, be sure to check this out.
12 years ago when I was in University, I mostly just ate pasta with plain tomato sauce.
It was all I knew how to make.
I was an expert at heating foods from jars, but it was boring, and in my mid-20s, I was tired of being a bad cook and tired of sleeping poorly, feeling unhealthy and having no energy.
I wanted more variety in my life (plain pasta doesn't stay exciting for long), and I desperately needed to get healthy so I could get through my days without resorting to junk food fixes and being lazy, zoning out in front of the TV.
But I didn’t know which foods were healthy and unhealthy, how to find my way around the kitchen and how to plan meals when I was short on time.
And I and didn’t have anyone to show me, until...
How I Learned How To Cook Tasty, Healthy Meals
Marinated Vegetable Skewers
In 2009, I enrolled in the main course at the School Of Natural Cookery and it opened up so many possibilities in the kitchen.
And then becoming a Registered Holistic Nutritionist brought the nutrition side of things into how I cook.
Nowadays, I don't make boring, nutrient-deficient plain pasta any more.
I've learned how to make meals with exciting flavor - without following a recipe - that also provide me with the nutrients I need in order to coast through my day full of energy and a feeling of overall happiness.
That means I can do everything I want to do with my life without worrying about health problems...
Now I'm Going To Pass On My Healthy Cooking Tips To You
From boring pasta to healthy pizza!
Healthy eating often means learning how to cook all over again.
If you're transitioning to a healthier diet and aren't too comfortable in the kitchen, I want to pass on what I've learned to you.
You can make tasty, flavorful, meals that are loaded with vitamins, minerals, and plenty of protein. It's not much work - it just takes a bit of know-how.
And when you do that, you feel healthier and more energetic. You can definitely lose weight if that's a goal.
It just takes a bit of practice, especially if you're moving to a plant-based diet or even a vegetarian or vegan diet.
If you've ever wanted to improve your cooking skills, but didn't want to pay the big bucks that are usually charged for a cooking class (and didn't want to drive somewhere to attend), I have something for you.
Earlier this year I ran a series of live online cooking classes.
I recorded all 24 of them and they turned out pretty awesome, so I've put them all together on video for you online in a members-only website where you can ask me questions directly...
What You'll Discover From These Online Cooking Classes
Here are the main benefits I experienced when moving from boring pasta to exciting whole foods meals.
(You'll see these benefits as well when you discover the healthy cooking techniques I teach.)
Of course the cooking classes are lots of fun on their own, but in the end, I did them so you can:
1. Improve Your Health
Spicy Chickpeas
That means you'll be able to enjoy a tasty, healthy diet that nurtures your body, leaving you feeling energetic and satisfied.
And obviously if you have a spouse or family, nourishing them and being a good role model is job number one.
For me, I don't worry about my health much any more because it's been so many years since I've had any kind of illness, even a cold.
But what I am thankful for every day is all of the things that being healthy allows me to do: having fun with friends, traveling, being efficient at work, sleeping well, and on and on.
2. Master New Skills
Mushroom Burgers
You'll discover simple, fast techniques that make cooking easy, so easy that you'll actually cook this stuff!
And you'll actually enjoy the process, plus the control you have over what you put in your body.
You won't have to rely on oil, sugar, salt and processed foods to make food taste great.
You'll discover your inner-chef’s intuition, so you can turn everyday ingredients into savory masterpieces.
We'll demystify cooking and cover actual techniques instead of only following recipes.
3. Gain Confidence In The Kitchen
Arugula Pesto Recipe
You'll simply pull a bunch of ingredients and herbs/spices out of the pantry and fridge, and whip up something delicious without needing a recipe.
Then you'll freestyle, diagnose and correct as you go. No more disasters!
I didn't use to enjoy cooking all that much, but when I moved to healthy cooking, learned proper technique, and got some confidence, it became so much fun.
4. Save Money And Time
Sweet Salad Dressing
By cooking your own meals instead of buying packaged stuff or getting takeout, you'll save money while getting healthier meals.
For real, we actually save money compared to when we used to eat a processed, unhealthy diet, and we buy organic food now.
And then by learning how to throw together quick, easy meals without needing a recipe, you'll save time, something we all need more of so we can actually relax once in awhile!
Plus, by learning how to cook right from your own kitchen, you save even more time and money compared to going to cooking classes.
How Do The Online Cooking Classes Work?
Healthy Granola
The classes were recorded live a few months ago. There are 24 classes of 45-60 minutes each.
(Aside: once you've made these meals once, you'll easily be able to do all the prep work in less than 30 minutes - the classes are longer because I discuss nutrition and demonstrate various techniques).
When you sign up now, you get access to a private members-only website where you can:
- Watch the cooking class videos online any time you want (day or night)
- Go through the dozens of photo lessons to learn specific techniques
- Download all of the videos and recipes
- Upload photos of some of your meals
- Ask me questions about any of the recipes
The online format is flexible, allowing you to go at your own pace. You can use your computer, iPad or tablet.
We won't be making boring pasta (although we do make a nice homemade tomato sauce in one class). I'll be passing on to you the most important tips I learned in cooking school.
In each class, I take a new topic, discuss cooking techniques, and show you how to make a delicious, healthy recipe.
The recipes are generally:
- Low fat
- Low sugar
- Low salt
- Gluten free
- Plant-based
The real benefit here is that you will learn how to use fresh ingredients and herbs/spices that still taste great without all the "bad stuff."
And it's more than just a cooking course - I get into nutrition and health information while we're cooking, and people have been really excited to discover how to get proper minerals, vitamins and protein into their meals...

So I'm throwing in these bonuses to make sure all of the bases are covered and give as much value to you as I can:
The Lessons - $45 Value
The healthy meal plan may be the focus, but these bonus lessons really make it awesome. I've put together a series of articles, videos and audios to help transform you into a healthy eating/healthy cooking/healthy living machine!

Where Do You Get Your Protein? - $30 Value
This is one of my favorite resources I've put together.
It's an ebook called 'Where Do You Get Your Protein?', along with 8 of my favorite protein-rich recipes on video.
The book is an in-depth look at everything you need to know about protein when you're on a plant-based diet.
It's just over 100 pages - not too long, but long enough to cover what you need to know.
If you're looking to use more plant foods in your diet, but still get the right amount of balanced protein, this is for you.
And if you'd like to learn how much protein your body needs, and then get some of my favorite recipes on how to get that protein, this is for you.
In the videos, I show you how to make protein-rich recipes such as Lentil Veggie Burgers, Lime Quinoa, and Walnut Fig Cookies.

And I must say the ice cream was soooo delicious!!!!! Even better than the chemical ladder store bought stuff. Even my husband liked it and he is an ice cream fanatic! Thank you so much!"
Catherine, Virginia
Great For Kids
"They are fun, as well as full of valuable information and great energy. My kids even enjoy watching them with me quite often. The falling camera was a huge hit with them!! The recipes are good and the class outlines are a fantastic resource!!! And I really enjoy the ability to ask questions and get great responses."
Cindy, Alabama
Many Good Tips And Ideas
"I thought you had organized the presentation well because you made it all work in the allotted time, and that is not so easy to do. I appreciate your attention to details and especially to your instincts for being able to anticipate questions people might have before they have them! Thanks so much to you and Phil for all your hard work putting together the videos, recipes, and classes. I am getting so many good ideas from you. Thanks much."
Ayn, North Carolina
Learn From Your Own Kitchen
"The classes are wonderful. I really enjoy learning right from my own kitchen. I usually watch and take notes then sometime that week (usually the next day) I make it for my family. My boys are still waiting for me to make the cookies this weekend. I was so impressed how you were able to go from talking... to a question... and back to the topic you left off with. It felt like you did not miss a beat."
Colleen, New York
Make Into A Weekly Meal Plan
"Let me tell you I am learning so much from these classes. I listen and make notes and usually the next day I make the meal. Today it will be the soup. They have all turned out very delicious and will become a part of our weekly meal plan. So far I am sticking to your recipes before I experiment with ingredients... the first set of cooking classes are over and I thought they were just great. I learned a lot and realized where I was making some mistakes. For me this is the benefit of watching a cooking class."
Ian, New York
Become An Artist In The Kitchen
"Thank you so much for offering the classes! I was sad to see them end because I've enjoyed them so much! It was a real treat to be taught a "mindset". I wanted to share a success story with you - one day, I decided to make the black bean burgers we made in class, but when I went to my grocery store, I discovered that they didn't sell any canned beans without salt (and I couldn't find some other stuff I needed), and I didn't have enough time left in the day to make my own from dried beans... I almost despaired, but then remembered the pizza night we'd had the previous week, and after quickly thinking through what I had in my pantry at home, I decided, on the spot, to instead make a mexican-style pizza that would be based on ingredients I already had on hand... I felt like an artist picking his paints as I looked at the various vegetables in the store that could top my pizza creation :) It not only ended up being absolutely delicious, but was satisfying on a whole new level because I was eating something that I created using your methods, as opposed to being enslaved to a recipe. It was empowering and I don't view cooking the same way any more. Creating in the kitchen makes me happier than following recipes :)"
Dan, Texas
Not Intimidating
"I really have learned a lot from you, and I like that you aren't "all chefy" and didn't intimidate us. I have to say that I really enjoy seeing your humor come out, and your playful side. The fact that I have a culinary school trained husband has no impact on your class, meaning I have no thoughts what so ever that you are inferior. Thanks again for helping me learn so many new tips, and hey, salad doesn't just mean lettuce!! Why didn't I figure that one out? I'll be in touch for any future classes. Your HESH site has become my go-to site when I'm looking for ideas, so I'll be around!"
Katherine, Colorado
Share Tips With Family/Friends
"I love the cooking class and have learned so much! I've passed on a lot of the advice and tips to family members and coworkers. The class had inspired me to get a good food processor and so far I have enjoyed using it. That you so much for doing the class!"
Julie, New York
Good For Your Spouse
"One lady friend and I watched the video and made the burgers as we watched. The burgers came out fantastic! Even my husband ate one after giving him a small bite of mine and he is nowhere near wanting to be vegetarian. We made them flat and they came out so crunchy like croquettes."
Mary, Texas
Easy To Use And Fun
"What I like & noticed at first glance was the clarity and ease of use. The site is clean without a lot of decorative background. This makes it very easy to quickly find what I'm looking for. I especially appreciate the Photo Lessons section. Besides the photos being amazing, it is great to actually see the things you are writing about, rather than just a printed list of items. Last, but not least, the actual video classes themselves. FUN! I feel like I'm in a friend's kitchen while she cooks & chats about a bunch of stuff she's learned. I can almost see myself sitting at the counter with a glass of iced tea...or maybe some wine"
Linda, Carson City NV
Packed With Info And Ideas
"First I thought I would never be able to watch a one-hour video about hummus, but now I have to say: it was fun, it was packed with info and ideas and you are probably the only person who could have done that ;-) Btw, I love how you talk. I'm a girl and I'm not into girls at all, so don't get the wrong impression, but there is something happening with your mimic when you speak, that makes me wanna listen forever. Do you know Marie-Louise Parker? She has the same "something" you reminded me of."
Anonymous
Lots Of Information
"I think the class gave so much more info than just making bean dips. I love how you give lots of information about the individual ingredients as well."
Cindy, Alabama
Helps Me Talk With Skeptics
"Hey Heather, I am really enjoying the cooking classes...I'd love to be able to give improvement tips but it's kind of hard since your site rocks! I've navigated all around and you have everything so nicely organized. I like how informed you are and how you share that information with us. It's not just "you should eat this because it's good for you and what they do to animals is bad." That's all true but I like how you gear your site towards complete health and you know a lot about what different types of foods can do for you. It definitely helps when talking to family and close friends who are skeptical about a vegan diet. You do so much for free too which is so kind of you...your site is sweet and honest. Thanks Heather!"Samantha
"I'm having a blast and am very appreciative of the effort and detail you put into it."
Jason, Chicago
"The classes are great really. Questions are answered right away... It's fun. I think this was a great experience. To be able to have a cooking class and be in my own kitchen is very convenient."
DeVonna, California
"I feel it is very informative, which I love. I've learned quite a few things and am excited to partake in many classes going forward."
Melissa, Utah
"The online video is so much fun, I loved it and cant wait to sign up for future videos, I cant think of anything to improve on."
Stacy, New York
"It is a very interesting class, with precious info on nutrition, cooking techniques and how to do our own dip. Clear and easy to follow."
Stephanie, Italy
"I love how you combine the how to prepare with why eat the foods that are in your recipes because it makes me want to eat them thinking through that I am eating hummus because it provides me energy (carbs)... etc. and your recipes are sooo yummy."
Mari, Georgia
