Many dietitians have discovered the power of taking nutrition back into the kitchen.  By providing clients with real-world tools like cooking and shopping skills they have seen improved results in lifestyle modification goals.  Cooking classes are not only useful in a one-on-one environment.  The cooking demonstration has been gaining popularity as an engaging component to traditional nutrition lectures and talks.
