Real Food Discovery Weekends
Explore the power of Real Food in a changing world
If you love food, if you are concerned about food issues, if you worry about all the conflicting information out there, or if you simply want to know more about real food, you have come to the right place.
Our own journey at Aspen House has been fascinating, enlightening, absorbing and empowering. We have effectively been on a self-taught, 5-year course in food and nutrition, and we want nothing more than to share our new-found knowledge with you. Although much of what we have learned is set out in our two books, The Food Maze and How To Eat there is no substitute for one of our Discovery weekends.
More than anything, we have come to understand the fundamental nature of real food and how our food choices underscore the kind of life we wish to lead. Through our food, each of us can bring pleasure, relaxation, happiness, health and wellbeing into our lives - all this and chocolate too! (More on this when you come to stay!)
On top of that, by what has been described as 'wondrous serendipity,' real food is good for the planet as well as us, so that's a timely bonus.
Mahatma Gandhi once said, "You must be the change you want to see in the world." Our experience during our time at Aspen House shows us that not only is a positive change possible but also it is easy and fun to do. Come to us for the weekend and find out for yourself just how easy it can be. Explore food issues with us, expose the myths and disinformation, discover the truth, save yourself some money, understand the true power of your food choices and become part of the change.
Your stay with us will of course revolve around food, and will include supper on Friday and Saturday night, with an Aspen House breakfast on Saturday and Sunday morning. In between, there will be discussions, buying and cooking tips, recipes, a farm visit and some fine goodies to take home to remind you of a memorable weekend.
