Feed Yourself Well – Taster (Gut Health)

Feed Yourself Well / Gut Health breakfast taster session

Kickstart your day at this breakfast taster for a basic introduction to gut health – for good health and wellbeing. Good gut health (and a healthy microbiome) doesn’t just help improve digestion but Feeds Yourself Well in a great number of ways. It supports your immunity, heart health, blood sugar levels, metabolic health, body weight, mental wellbeing and much more.

At this science – based session you will learn some key facts about gut health as scientists are starting to understand much more than ever before. Emily includes information about some surprising misleading notions around calorie counting (for example), and giving you some information of the great nutrition you can gain from everyday foods through her healthy breakfast mini taster session.

Everyone is welcome!

About Emily

Emily Carey has been teaching people to cook classic and original dishes for over 10 years, driven by her passion to make home cooking more widely accessible.

Her childhood, in a home where good food, especially Mediterranean food was enjoyed, started her off on a journey of discovery and exploration. She developed an eye for good recipes and learning what foods work well together, adding to this a flair for bringing food and people together, and that became the basis for Get Cooking.

With a simple start in 2010, and the opening of an exciting and unique venue in Farsley in 2016, she has continually incorporated fresh ideas into the business including her recent passion for gut health.

What to bring?

All the ingredients are provided for your healthy breakfast.
