4 Class Modules
During this course, I will show you my best tips and tricks I use to quickly create a balanced entertaining menu, my favorite prep ahead strategies, and how to cook, store, and serve different recipes!
Entertaining Essentials
Module 1
There are many things you can do to give yourself a head start even before you offer an invitation. I am always stocked with the basic essentials as if I am having friends over tomorrow. I will share a list of all my go-to entertaining essentials.
Starters and Drinks
Module 2
Presentation goes a long way when you’re serving something expected or common. There are ways of making prepared foods look more appetizing. I will share all my tips for what I like to serve to whet the appetite and ways you can do most of it ahead of time.
Main Dishes
Module 3
Many people think the main course needs to be the “fancy” dish, and it can be, but doesn’t have to be. There are no rules. There is nothing wrong with serving a simple roasted chicken and then having more fun with your side dishes. It is also 100% acceptable to serve an entirely vegetarian or vegan meal if that is your style.
Side Dishes and Desserts
Module 4
Salads and desserts are some of the dishes I always make in advance, but I'll share all my tips for last minute dishes that can come together in no time.

About Me
I have loved good food and enjoyed cooking for as long as I can remember. As a child, while other kids were at the playground, I was helping my father in the garden, watering plants and vines and watching miracles happen. I come from a large Italian-American family where sit-down holiday dinners for 85 people are the norm (how, you might ask – organization! But more on that later …).
The food I grew up with was never fancy, even though my mother always had a subscription to Gourmet. But I knew where the food came from and it was always real. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I learned more about the nourishing and healing power of food. And it wasn’t until I volunteered as a nutrition docent in an elementary school for Growing Great that it truly crystallized for me — our society has a big problem. I knew I had to do something, but was unsure of where to start.
I was asked to teach a “healthful cooking class” for a group of young mothers. The business grew organically from that first group and I knew I had a message — and a new mission — in life.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is this course Live?
No. This course is online and self-paced so you can watch on your own time. The only live component are the weekly office hour meetings via zoom where you can join me to ask questions.
What if I don't have a facebook account?
You can still take the course, but it will limit the support you can potentially receive from your fellow classmates.
What if I have questions along the way?
I will be there every step of the way and will answer any questions you have during our weekly live calls. You can also contact me via the private facebook page or through email at pamelasalzman@gmail.com.
Are there any special tools I need to complete the program?
You will not need any fancy kitchen equipment, although I will offer suggestions on my favorite go-to tools. Having basic tools like a cutting board, knife, sheet pan, and skillet are great and I will also provide a list of my favorite entertaining essentials!
What if I have dietary restrictions?
No problem! I will offer plenty of substitutions you can use to adapt recipes.
How does the membership portal account work?
Each student will receive login details after signing up to access their own private account on the membership portal (login link located on my site, under Bootcamps) where course content is organized into modules. This is where you will be able to access pdf downloads, class videos, and office hour meeting information. Plus, you will have lifetime access to your membership account.
