This was one of the best cooking courses I have taken on Udemy. As a software engineer I like to know "why" and exactly "how" things work...so Chef Nic was spot on...I learned a lot and now more than ever cooking techniques make more sense to me.

Health Supportive Chef trained in New York, Critical Care Nurse, Special Forces Medic. 

In the hospital over the last five years, I have seen a dramatic rise of diet-preventable disease in my patients. To equip my patients and other families with the skills they need to use food as medicine, I founded The Up Beet Kitchen. It's an online cooking school and meal planner designed to put health back in your hands. 

I'd love to hear your story about health, food and cooking.
