Friday inspiration: cooking lessons = life-changing good food habits

Though this research has only been done on Jamie Oliver's cooking courses in the UK, I'd like to think we can inspire this kind of change closer to home! Invite friends and family into your kitchen and share with them by teaching and talking about the beautiful food you create. Or if you are looking to make your own food habit changes, find a friend to learn from or find a local cooking class. "Attending one of Jamie Oliver’s Ministry of Food cooking courses can help improve your diet, according to a scientific study. Researchers found that people who took the course halved the amount of snacks they ate, increased the number of fruit and vegetables and became more confident about cooking a meal from scratch. The study, by academics at Leeds University, involved surveying nearly 800 people who took one of the courses between 2010 and 2014."
