Ready to boost your kitchen confidence and cook like a pro? Join us for a 2-day, hands-on Culinary Nutrition Mastermind designed exclusively for dietitians and health professionals, led by Kristy Del Coro and Jackie Topol, registered dietitians, culinary nutritionists, and co-founders of the Culinary Nutrition Collaborative. Taking place November 15th & 16th in New York City, this immersive experience is like a crash course in foundational culinary concepts tailored to nutrition professionals who want to elevate their cooking skills without committing to months of training.

Over two packed days, you’ll sharpen essential techniques—from knife skills and vegetable prep to building bold flavor with global spices, cooking seafood and plant-based proteins with ease, and more. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of how cooking impacts nutrition and learn how to turn everyday ingredients into vibrant, delicious meals that nourish. Whether you're developing recipes, leading cooking demos, or counseling clients, this crash course will give you the skills and confidence to bring culinary nutrition to life in your work.

With very limited spots available due to the intimate, hands-on format, this is your chance to finally experience what so many RDs have been asking for: a dynamic, in-person culinary training designed with health professionals in mind. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect, cook, and grow alongside fellow professionals in the heart of NYC!
