Debunking healthy eating: A real food masterclass

Curated by nutritional therapist, health writer and passionate foodie Eve Kalinik, this illuminating day of talks will expose the truth that surrounds “healthy eating”.

Unlike much of the healthy eating advice out there, this day is all about what we should be eating rather than what we shouldn’t. We will demystify some of the seemingly vilified foods, so you can make better sense of some of the nonsense surrounding nutrition and stop shunning beneficial food groups.

We will explore why coming back to food in its most natural state and making discerning choices as to what we eat and how we prepare our food can best support our health and nutrition.

Through interactive demonstrations and Q&A sessions, our panel of experts will show you why butter, coffee, wine, meat and milk should all be on your menu.
