Maybury's March Cooking Classes Adds Healthy Eating to the Menu

Shop healthy, Cook healthy, Eat healthy

For March Maybury’s will be adding healthy eating to its range of cooking classes. Under the heading “shop healthy, cook healthy, eat healthy” the team will be offering practical advice for you and your family, and creating tasty, nutritious meals that everyone can enjoy.

As the pace of life gets ever faster, do you really know what you are eating?  Do you know your carbs from your proteins?  Your sugars from your “good” and “bad” fats? Or if and when organic trumps local?  And what about those buzz words “anti-oxidants”, and “superfoods”?  Do you read food labels when you shop and do you watch portion sizes – both for yourself and your family?  Maybury will show you how.

Head Chef Audrey Paravata reminds us that to stay healthy we have to look after ourselves.  The occasional fast food fix is ok on the run but not as a way of life and over time is guaranteed to clog up your engine.  These classes will encourage you to understand the right fuels to put in your body – both delicious and nutritious – as well as reminding you to check food labels to know what you are eating, and encourage portion control.

The Thursday morning two-hour health focused classes, priced at AED250, will be held by Polina (see schedule below).  Those who participate will take a walk through the Maybury grocery store, check food labels, become aware of additives in their different guises and their long-term effects.  A cooking demonstration will introduce you to healthy techniques and how to create colourful, healthy and tasty dishes in minutes, as well as devising a menu for the whole week.  Participants will then sample what has been made and will take away handouts and recipes to try out at home.

Advance bookings are advised for the healthy series as well as the other scheduled classes - email info@maybury.ae or tel Maybury on 04 423 80 73
