Maintaining a healthy weight and the pain of chronic back problems challenged me for years until I discovered new, healthier ways to cook and changed my relationship with food. My personal journey inspired me to help others find the same joy I had in cooking and eating delicious, healthy meals and cultivating a positive approach to good nutrition.
As a wife, mom, caregiver, entrepreneur, and community volunteer, I understand that time is at a premium. When life is hectic we stick with what we know-what is comfortable and easy-and that old habits die hard. I have learned how to change my own habits realistically in ways that make sense for me and my family, and I can help you to do the same.

Jenna is awesome.
After completing our online prep survey, we visited Jenna's kitchen as a couple.
Jenna is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and has great tips and tricks for the experienced cook and patience for those of us who struggle to use a stove knob.
Her recipes are prepared beforehand based on your tastes and are really healthy, delicious, and easy to prepare.
I felt like I was on a cooking show. Her kitchen is professional and well-stocked with tools. She is a great conversationalist and keeps the session moving at the right pace, based on the meals you are preparing.

Cook, Learn, Live helped me to go from FEARFUL in the kitchen to FEARLESS! I never learned how to cook when I was young and after MANY feeble attempts to provide a tasty meal at home, my family opted for eating out nearly every night.
Jenna gave me confidence in the kitchen by teaching me not just what to do, but how to do it in simple, easy to understand ways that made sense. For every question... Why do you do that?, or How can I avoid this happening?, she had a clear explanation and the patience of a saint! I brought my husband along for one of the sessions and he said, Jenna is not just

We were looking for something unique to do for our daughter's 30th birthday. A cooking class sounded like fun. My search found Cook, Learn, Live in White Plains, NY. Jenna, the owner/instructor, was very accomodating of our food preferences and dietary needs, helping us plan the meal, and providing fresh, healthy ingredients. She even cooked a test recipe for her family a few days before our class, to be sure that the cooking times, temperatures, etc. were suitable for alternative ingredients we had requested. With guidance from Jenna, we prepared and cooked our meal, which featured several

Jenna is wonderful! Working with her was such a treat!
My school sponsored a group of us to attend one of her cooking classes, and it was a fantastic experience. The class was not only educational, it was a lot of fun, and definitely a great reprieve from my typical Sunday afternoons spent studying in front of a computer.
Jenna did a great job of overseeing the prepping and cooking of the four dishes we had on the menu for the night. I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like to manage a kitchen full of amateur chefs (half of whom rarely cook at home)...but somehow she managed
