321: Cook More, Shop Less, Waste Nothing, with Chef Laura Scheck
Description
What happens when a former school teacher swaps lesson plans for sheet pans — and merges these two areas of expertise together? You get Chef Laura Scheck of Teaching Table — a culinary educator with a knack for demystifying scratch cooking using fresh, seasonal ingredients.
As someone who's deeply into health and wellness but couldn't cook to save my life… let me tell you, this convo is personal. I took my first class with Chef Laura last fall, and when I pulled a golden loaf bread out of my oven, I thought: Wait. I made this? Since then, I've taken five (okay, maybe six) of her classes — from mocktails to gluten-free galettes — and my kitchen confidence has never been higher.
In this episode, you'll hear:
- How Chef Laura went from the classroom to the kitchen (and blended the two)
- The power of modifying instead of stressing
- Her 3 go-to meals for when you're short on time
- Why cooking confidence isn't about perfection – it's about play
- The 3 kitchen tools she can't live without
This one's light on Human Design, but packed with heart, humor, and those quiet "oh wow, I can do this" moments we all need more of. If you've ever felt intimidated by the kitchen, this episode is for you.
