Veronique's Monday Dinner with a French Healthy Twist, Skillman (monthly) (GM004)

The theme of Veronique's meeting is cooking traditional yet simple French recipes with a healthy twist (e.g. minus the butter or creme fraiche!) and lots of vegetables. Veronique leads experiments and activities, and teaches the preparation of delicious fare that combines the traditions of her childhood in Normandy with lessons learned as a nutritionist. She is particularly conversant with alkaline food preparations. She also likes to deconstruct plates into proteins, fats and carbs and discuss healthy portions.

Veronique has created a new 12-week program called "The CogniDiet" to help people lose weight slowly and for the long term. She teaches her clients to be more attuned to their body and mind and to manage stress rather than letting stress control them. The program also focuses on training her clients' brains to think differently and therefore behave differently when meeting temptations. This method is based on cognitive behavioral therapy principles. Veronique launched this program with great success in January 2014 at the Princeton Integrative Health Center in Princeton.

Every 3rd Monday of the month, 6:00 to 8:00pm, maximum of 10 guests.
