Frequently Asked Questions

What if I have food allergies or sensitivities? Can I still take the series?

Yes! Every one of Nourished Kitchen’s multimedia series and our meal plans are designed with those suffering from food allergies in mind.  All classes and meal plans are suitable for those who maintain gluten-/grain-/nut-/soy-free diets out of necessity or preference.  Where common allergens (excluding allergies to eggs), we include substitutions.  Alternatively, you can enroll in modules that exclude your allergen.

  • Online Class: Get Cultured: The bulk of the weekly lessons are allergen-friendly.  While the first few lessons focus on cultured dairy foods, you will also learn how to make coconut water kefir, coconut yogurt and other nourishing dairy-free alternatives to yogurt.  The lesson on sourdough focuses on gluten-containing breads, but also provides information on gluten-free sourdoughs.

What if I’m on a restricted [low-carb, paleo, GAPS/SCD, WAPF, veg*n] diet? Can I still take this series?

Yes!  Every one of Nourished Kitchen’s multimedia series are designed for those with restrictive diets.    While the site’s philosophy centers on traditional foods and the work of Dr. Weston A Price, those adhering to low-carb, paleo, GAPS/SCD and even veg*n or kosher diets will benefit from the installments, videos and other downloads.

What if I don’t like the meal plans or online series?

I’m confident that with the extraordinary community created through Nourished Kitchen, the video tutorials, full menus and recipes provided in the each of our online cooking series and meal plans you’ll find a value that exceeds your expectations, but if you don’t absolutely love our work, you may request a full refund within thirty days of the start date no questions asked.

  • All Classes and Meal Plans: You may request a refund within thirty days of your original order, no questions asked.

What equipment do I need to purchase?

You are not required to purchase any special equipment beyond what is available in most kitchens.  Sharp knives, cutting boards, mixing bowls, baking dishes and skillets are what we use most; however, you may find that you can also use a food processor or blender.

  • Online Classes: We recommend mixing bowls, sharp knives, cutting boards, baking dishes, saucepans and a food processor or blender. Mason jars, a vegetable fermenter or a fermentation crock can also be very helpful but is not required.

What ingredients do I need to purchase?

Nourished Kitchen cooking classes and meal plans are specifically designed to make use of what is available locally and seasonally in your area.  You should not need to purchase many additional ingredients; however, self-propagating starter cultures may be needed for individual classes. While not required, purchasing a kombucha mother, sourdough starter, vegetable starter cultures and water kefir grains is helpful.

What if I only want one or two parts in the multimedia series?

Currently, we do not offer the lessons individually.  If you are interested in purchasing one of the installments individually, you may contact me privately.

How long do I have access to the materials?

At Nourished Kitchen we strongly believe that once you purchase something, it’s yours – for life.  We don’t restrict access, don’t require monthly memberships in order to maintain access to online videos and classes.  You have lifetime access to all materials. Your membership does not expire.

Do I have to log into the online classes at a specific time?

No.  The multimedia series offered at Nourished Kitchen do NOT require you to log in at any specific time.  Instead, installments are posted at a set interval (usually in the evenings) and you can log in to view the videos and download the other materials whenever it suits you.  If that means you log in at 3:00 in the morning, GREAT!  If it means you need to take  a few weeks off and log in later, more power to you.  Nourished Kitchen’s materials are specifically designed to work around your schedule.

What kind of computer equipment or software do I need?

Meal plans and the online courses should work on any PC or Mac.  You may need to download Adobe Acrobat Reader (available here which is free and comes preinstalled on most machines) to view the downloadable and printable materials.  We also highly recommend that you avoid using Internet Explorer in favor of Firefox a free and more secure internet browser. To view videos, you need to have the most recent version of Flash Player installed to view videos.  It comes preinstalled on most machines.

How do I login to the course?

Please allow 24 hours for your login details to be sent to you by email. At the time you receive them, you may login to the class materials here.  If you lose your password, contact us here.

I’m signed up!  When do I start receiving materials?

To prevent students from being overwhelmed, and to encourage you to work slowly and thoroughly through the materials, we post lessons on a set schedule with one new lesson emailed to you each week; however, you may skip around by manually working through the materials.

Help! I signed up and I haven’t gotten anything yet!

Please allow 24 hours for your login details to be sent to you by email.  If 24 hours has gone by and you still haven’t received anything from us, please contact us here and we will send them to you shortly.

I am sight-/hearing-impaired.  Will I be able to benefit from this course?

We have had a number of people who are sight  or hearing impaired take the course offered at Nourished Kitchen.  For those who are hearing impaired, the videos are easy to follow and do not, necessarily, rely on audio as each video features slides with written copy detailing ingredients/equipment and benefits of the foods we’re preparing.  For those who are sight impaired, you will need to rely on a screen reader.  Some of our sight-impaired students have expressed difficulties with playing the videos; however, most experience no troubles.  You can always get started, and if you decide that the course doesn’t fit your needs, you can let us know within 30 days of the start date and we will happily refund your money.
