let’s do this!

Cooking is just putting food in a pan, right?
WRONG! Cooking is thinking.

Thinking about:

  • what you’re going to prepare and who is going to eat it (and when);
  • what ingredients you have versus what you need;
  • how long it’s going to take to put a meal on the table;
  • and more…

If the thought of all of this (extra) thinking has you reaching for DoorDash even though you know the value of healthy, home cooked meals, you’re in the right place.

As Featured In

I am a former personal chef, a recipe developer with a hit food blog and recipes that have been published in dozens of major publications. I’ve taught cooking classes for over 20 years and I’m a licensed nutritionist with a deep knowledge of culinary medicine.

Basically, I have A LOT of experience identifying roadblocks that prevent my clients from applying recommendations that could change their health and ultimately their life.

And the #1 roadblock I see is people NOT getting in the kitchen to cook delicious, nutritious food for themselves (and their families).

I get it: you don’t have time to cook.

And by saying you don’t have time to cook, what you’re really saying is:

  • You don’t have the tools
  • You don’t have the recipes
  • You don’t have the ingredients
  • You don’t know how to put it all together quickly and efficiently

And maybe you’re saying a little of this:

  • You’re sick of cooking THE SAME DAMN THING all the time
  • You’ve got decision fatigue from Googling “fast weekday dinner recipe” and getting 724,399 results
  • The idea of heading back to the grocery store at 5:45pm after a loooooong day of work to pick up some exotic ingredient for a meal your family may not even want to eat makes you want to fake your own death

BUT…

  • What if cooking could be pleasurable and (gasp) easy?
  • What if it could be simple, yet nourishing?
  • What if it could be a space where, instead of overthinking and stressing, you were free to explore and combine delicious, beautiful, and healthy ingredients, joyfully?
  • Oh! And what if all this cooking saved you both time AND money?

Crazy, right?

DO-ABLE.

Yep! 100% do-able.

I’ve been helping people get in the kitchen and actually USE said kitchen for cooking for over 20 years now. Why? Because I know the incredible value that homecooked, nutritious meals can add to our health and wellbeing.

What this

is

It’s easy, elegant recipes to get rid of decision fatigue. 

It’s fun, LIVE cooking we do together once a month from our own kitchens, preparing delicious food, just hanging out and having a good time. 

It’s skills and organization and tools. 

It’s smart meal plans to help use and re-use ingredients (yes, even the seasonal stuff). 

What this

isn't

Just one more online course with never-ending modules. 

A massive amount of curriculum you need to read. 

Something that is going to require a massive time commitment. 

A diet or weight loss plan. 

The most successful and highly-praised part of my signature program, The Nourishing Nutrition Method, was the LIVE Kitchen Labs. Why? The feedback was unanimous: we desperately want to cook our own delicious, nutritious meals but it feels so overwhelming. We are busy, we don’t have the ingredients on hand. We don’t understand the recipes. The recipes take too long and are so complicated or outrageous* — who has time for that?!

On top of that, when I asked YOU what your biggest obstacle was when it comes to cooking, and guess what?

You don’t have time to cook… among other things.

* When a recipe begins with, “start by milking your goat” feel free to roll your eyes, slam the phone down, and order in.

This.  All this...

… (and more) is why I’ve created the Stir It Up Society!

Stir it up society is an affordable membership community where (in addition to your weekly meal plans) each month, we’ll all gather in our own kitchens from different corners of the world and get our cook on.

You will receive a grocery and tool list ahead of time, and we’ll work on a specific theme each month (meal prep recipes, sheet pan recipes, a specific cooking technique, like braising, roasting, steaming, etc).

When the kitchen lab is over, you will have a refrigerator full of beautiful food, a delicious ready-to-eat meal, and a newfound sense of confidence and comfort in your own kitchen (that will only continue to increase month by month).
let’s do this!

One of the many highlights of the program was that we had opportunities to get into the kitchen some weeks and cook along with Abra. This was not only fun, but it provided me with a few staple techniques and recipes that I have already used over and over!
– Tina

The flavor kitchen lab was my favorite because it proved I could make something delicious and nourishing at a time when I ordinarily would look and say “I don’t have anything to eat.” It increased my confidence in not feeling like I had to have all the ingredients for a complicated meal prep to be successful.

Overall, what I appreciated most is that you made real the idea that it can be simple. People always say that but don’t actually follow through with showing how to make that happen. I liked all the concrete examples of how to keep things simple. I loved all of it- highlights were kitchen labs and the mindset work.
– Erin

There are so many things I appreciated about this program. Abra is a fantastic teacher and guide who makes food and nutrition feel both exciting and manageable all at the same time. The tips she offered are actually things I could see myself doing and are absolutely realistic.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Nourishing Nutrition Method. The course information was so valuable. My family was so impressed with the dinner I was able to create after our kitchen class.  I also enjoyed the gut health and immunity classes. Abra is passionate about sharing her wealth of knowledge about nutrition. Her course is so thoughtfully designed. It was a worthy investment in myself.
– Jackie

“BUT ABRA – THE PRICE IS NICE, BUT I DON’T HAVE TIME TO COOK.” 

What we’re REALLY saying when we say we don’t have time to cook (because, believe me: I don’t have the time either!) is:

  • We don’t know what to cook
  • We don’t know how to cook
  • We don’t know what we have or what we need or what’s going bad or how to put it all together…

Yeah, all of that.

Enter… the Stir It Up Society!

I asked, you answered, and I am delivering!!

I am so excited about this membership because I have seen just how successful people can be at preparing and serving (and eating) delicious, healthy, beautiful meals in their own kitchens with ease and delight. And I know it makes a difference in their health and wellbeing (and saves them money, too).

The Stir It Up Society is the only membership program rooted in culinary medicine AND seriously delicious food. 

My friend, you DO NOT need an instagrammable kitchen to join this program (says the girl that catered a 150 person party out of her studio apartment kitchen in NYC). As a personal chef I learned to cook in any and all kitchen situations – ranging from a pimped-out Manhattan penthouse to the tiniest, poorly suited Airbnb kitchen with nothing but a hot plate and a countertop the size of my phone. I will teach you to do the same!

I know you’re hesitating because you can’t add one more thing to your plate (pun intended).

But if you’re feeling food fatigue, kitchen overwhelm, decision exhaustion, and a total lack of motivation, come see what’s cooking in the Stir It Up Society and fall in love with just how easy and fun getting delicious meals on the table can be.
