What Are the Benefits of Cooking at Home? Transformation can come from the comfort of your kitchen
It's no secret that New York, NY, has some of the best restaurants in the world. The convenience of take-out can take its toll on your health, however. Cooking at home allows you to be the chef and prepare food that is hearty, healthy, and satisfying. As the household chef, you can tailor dishes to meet your individual nutritional needs. After all, what is considered healthy food for a single adult may not work for a growing family. Whether you live by yourself or you have a family to feed, by learning to cook better, you can enjoy many benefits that include:
Portion Control
If the goal of learning to cook is to lose weight, cooking at home allows you to better manage the portion size on your plate. By limiting portions, you can better avoid temptation, which in turn helps you manage your weight.
Fresh Ingredients
When you're the chef, you can avoid using the processed foods that offer little nutritional value to your dishes. Instead, you can include real food cooked with minimally processed protein, whole grains, and fresh produce.
Healthy Choices
With the help of Allison Schulman as your cooking coach, you can limit the amount of sodium, sugar, and fat added to each dish you prepare. You'll be amazed at the tasty dishes you can prepare using fresh ingredients in your own kitchen.
Mindful Cooking Prevents Waste
A typical family of four wastes $1,500 a year on food they never eat. Allison's pantry makeovers can ensure you do not buy food you will not end up using. For the environmentally conscious, this is a great way to conserve resources and reduce greenhouse emissions.
Allison can help teach you to maximize the value of the food you do buy. For example, bruised produce that often gets thrown away can be repurposed into tasty, healthy baked goods, casseroles, sauces, and smoothies. Her cooking coach services can help you make nutritious meals that give you the added satisfaction of knowing you are not adding to environmental issues.
Eating Out Eats Up Budgets
In 2020, Americans spent nearly 9% of their income on food. Almost half of this money was used on eating out. One study by Forbes found that ordering delivery from a restaurant costs five times more than eating at home, and even using meal kit services costs three times more than home cooking.

She also didn't tell me how much I should weigh but asked what my goal was. She provided an easy to follow plan. I would definitely recommend seeing her." Laura B.
