I can’t thank Jill enough for introducing me to the world of pressure cooking. Now I can have wonderful, healthy meals in minutes that taste like I’ve been in the kitchen all day. It’s such a perfect appliance for busy people who love to cook & eat great food. Both my sisters bought pressure cookers after tasting my soups and stews. Now we exchange recipes & tips! Hope to see you again soon…

If you've been thinking of going gluten-free, then this is the class for you. This class is also great for anyone else who wants to learn how to incorporate more whole grains into their eating plan on a regular basis. I'll show you how to cook grains such as buckwheat, black rice, millet, amaranth, quinoa and more. I will prepare dishes from breakfast through dessert, and you'll get to sample all of them. Bring your appetite. I am a Registered Dietitian with more than 25 years of teaching people how to cook a variety of dishes that are naturally gluten-free.

A NEW private class has been added on September 21st. If you are interested, please email me at jill@theveggiequeen.com for details.
Come join Jill as she teaches you the art of preserving. When we have abundance as we do in the fall, it's time to put food away. It used to be that one of the only ways to do that was to "put food up", as in canning. But modern conveniences such as the freezer and dehydrator have come into play. This class will cover basic canning techniques, freezing and drying and touch on the process of pickling foods. Please bring any "extra" produce and we can put it up in class. Everyone will leave with at least 1 "canned" jar. If you have extra canning jars and lids, bring them to use or share. This is a hands-on class so come prepared to can - please bring an apron, sharp knife and wear close-toed shoes.
