Ever dreamed of teaching cooking classes but weren't sure how to turn that passion into a business or profitable side hustle? The Culinary Nutrition Collaborative is teaming up again with Registered Dietitian and owner of Food Explorers, Katie Shepherd for a business mastermind teaching you how to build your own cooking class business, whether you're looking to create a full-time business or a rewarding side hustle.

 

With its unique business model, Katie has grown Food Explorers into a successful business with over a million dollars in lifetime sales and we are so excited to offer a chance to share this business blueprint with you. She'll be joined by CNC co-founder Jackie Topol, MS, RD, who has taught hundreds of cooking classes and culinary demonstrations in virtually every setting imaginable, from corporate wellness programs and healthcare organizations to conferences, media events, community programs, and brand partnerships.

 

Over one intensive weekend, we'll cover everything you need to launch and grow your own program, including finding community partners, designing engaging classes and curriculum, leadership dynamics, developing recipes, pricing your services, marketing your offerings, maintaining quality as you grow, and creating multiple revenue streams.

 

Whether your goal is to build a full-fledged culinary nutrition business or add profitable cooking classes to your existing practice, you'll leave with practical tools, proven frameworks, and the confidence to bring your vision to life.
