Cooking Class 1: Fall Flavours
Join me for a culinary adventure in this Fall Flavours Cooking Class, where we’ll create a delectable Harvest Salad that’s not only wonderfully sweet but also incredibly satisfying. For our second dish, you can either create a delightful celebration with my Maple Whisky Sour Cocktail, because who doesn’t love happy hour?!

It’s a class that promises to indulge your taste buds in the rich, comforting tastes of autumn!
Why Sweet Potatoes Are The Ultimate Fall Food:
As autumn sets in, sweet potatoes emerge as the quintessential fall food, boasting a bounty of benefits for both your taste buds and well-being. These vibrant tubers are filled with Vitamin C and beta-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A— both of which play a vital role in bolstering your immune system. Not only do these vitamins fortify your body’s defences during the approaching cold and flu season, but they also nurture the health of your skin, keeping dryness at bay.
Sweet potatoes also shine as a high-antioxidant food, diligently neutralizing the potential health risks posed by free radicals as they journey through our digestive system. Moreover, their anti-inflammatory properties make them an excellent choice for those with inflammatory conditions, such as arthritis.
So, as the leaves turn and the air grows crisp, consider adding sweet potatoes to your plate. Not only will they satisfy your autumn cravings, but they’ll also provide your body with the nutrients it needs to thrive during this transformative season.

How Legumes Can Kick Inflammation To The Curb:
As we dive into the rich and tantalizing flavours of Tuscan cuisine during our Anti-Inflammatory Eats Cooking Class, let’s spotlight the anti-inflammatory powers of legumes.
Legumes are potent inflammation-fighting champions. They contain peptides, polyphenols, and saponins—remarkable antioxidants that combat oxidative stress and help reduce systemic inflammation, particularly valuable during the fall season when the body may be more vulnerable to immune challenges.
Fall often calls for heartier dishes, and legumes are here to support your digestion. Their high fibre content not only promotes regularity but also helps to reduce inflammation by feeding good gut bacteria. It has been shown that an imbalance of gut bacteria can lead to systemic inflammation. By ensuring your microbiome is filled with good guys, you can help stop inflammation at the source!
Together let’s welcome fall into the office with these fun health and wellness activities now available virtually or in person! Email me at info@jesselanewellness.com for more details, or check out my Corporate Wellness page for more info on how you can book your team today!
