Plant-Based Cooking 2.0
This is a LIVE 4-week online program to deepen your knowledge about a plant-based diet and plant-based cooking. This course will build upon the foundation you received in my original Plant-Based Bootcamp and continue to inspire you to add more plants into your diet. There is truly no better time to improve your health and the health of your family and I believe a mostly plant-based (it doesn't have to be 100%) approach is the way to go. I will be demonstrating fabulous recipes, sharing new tips and techniques, and of course, answering all your questions along the way. If you want to continue your wellness journey with me, take your diet to the next level and improve your nutrition intake, lower your inflammation, lose weight, and turn on the anti-aging switch in your body, this course is for you!

Dive Into Cooking Plant-Based Proteins
Week 1
I will show you how to cook multiple types of plant-based proteins in different ways and teach what to swap for different types of animal protein. I demonstrate a fun technique for freezing and defrosting tofu and how it changes the texture; grilling tofu; the trick to making tempeh taste better; TVP (textured vegetable protein); lentils and beans; some alternative ways to use quinoa and more! I will also provide a special separate download for how to cook legumes from scratch and another download for how to reduce bloating and gassiness when eating legumes and more plants, in general.
Comfort Foods Made PB
Week 2
Sometimes I crave classic comfort foods, but I don’t crave all the animal protein, heaviness, and inflammation. Enter my favorite comfort foods made plant-based! These recipes are less straightforward, and not necessarily intuitive, so you’ll be blown away at what I am going to show you! Crab Cakes with no crab; a stretchy cheese with no dairy; meatloaf with all plants…..and more!
Eat More Vegetables
Week 3
After this class, you will never look at your dinner plate the same way again. I am going to get you to rethink vegetables and finally put them front and center. Or at least share my favorite ways to add more vegetables to your plate and your life!
Healthier Desserts and Learning How to Make Most of Your Recipes PB
Week 4
It's not easy to make a healthy dessert or to swap plant-based ingredients for dairy and eggs...or is it? I'll give you my go-to swaps and how I change up almost any baking recipe. Then we'll recap what we've learned and apply our knowledge to make almost any recipe higher quality and plant-based! This is a very fun final class!

I ADORE PAMELA! her class was life changing. Her positive attitude and sense of humor made the class so much fun!
Pamela's cheery delivery and accessibility through real time Q and A makes everything easy. Her handouts are the gift that keeps on giving as I refer to them constantly.
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
What if I miss a weekly class?
A replay video will be available to all students in case you miss a call or would like to watch at your own pace. Replay videos do not expire and will be available to view in the private membership portal account.
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. If you do not have facebook, but would like to know about the things I post, please email my assistant at pamelasassistant@gmail.com and she can send you weekly facebook posts.
Can I access the live calls from my phone?
Of course! With the free Zoom app, you will be able to access video classes from your phone or tablet without any additional software.
Can people see me during the class?
No, participants can only see and hear me. You can show up as you are! Your questions or comments are submitted in a chat box which all participants will see.
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 classes. You can also contact me via the private facebook page or through email at pamelasalzman@gmail.com. For any tech questions, please contact my assistant at pamelasassistant@gmail.com.
Why are the class demos pre-recorded?
Since I can only cook a limited number of recipes in a 1 hour class and the saved zoom recordings are not high quality, I opted to have the cooking demos professionally recorded and edited to be able to include more content. The plus side is the video quality will be much better when you watch it again.
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!.
What if I have dietary restrictions?
No problem! I will offer plenty of substitutions you can use to adapt recipes.
When is the last day to join the course?
With only a limited amount of spots available, sign up will be open until February 7 or until the course is full. Be sure to act fast to secure a spot.
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 in weekly emails and on my site, under Bootcamps) where course content is organized into weekly categories. This is where you will be able to access zoom invites, weekly downloads, and replay videos in case you miss an email.
