Welcome to
Eat Well -
An Introduction
Everyone eats, every day, BUT are we doing it in such a way to really EAT WELL? Join Chef Seth D for an introduction on how to not only eat well, but cook regeneratively.
Why does EAT WELL exist?
We all eat every day.
Regardless of who we are, where we come from, or where we live.
Regardless of who we are, where we come from, or where we live.
And while you don’t have to grow, harvest, process, prepare, ferment, and cook everything you eat from scratch, we all need to eat.
Let’s eat well.
Let’s eat well.
Because, we are what we eat, more literally than we realize.
Eating well is the most fundamental form of self care.
Understanding how to eat well, learning about food and cooking, are the liberators that free you from dependence on a system of instant food gratification - one that prides itself on getting you to eat, but does little (or sometimes nothing) to actually nourish you.

Eating well brings us physical wellbeing and mental clarity, not just in the long run, but every day.
Cooking is a graceful combination of science and art, held together by poetry.
Cooking is a complex language, with infinite variety.
Yet with simple tools, an understanding of cooking techniques, knowledge about ingredients, and, most importantly, learning to taste food as you cook it, absolutely anyone can become a better cook and eat well.

You might be wondering
How can I EAT WELL?
How can I better prepare my food?
What really is the right balance between fat, salt and acid?
What are the best ways to cook meats and/or proteins?
How can I plan delicious meals?
What's the value in knowing how to prepare food well?
If you're reading this, chances are you;
WANT
to eat food that is nutritious, safe, and that tastes AMAZING.
WORRY
about the price of food, and what it will mean for your family’s diet and health.
VALUE
the importance of good food prepared with intention that nourishes the body.
DESIRE
to learn and grow in your ability to source and prepare amazing meals.
But, maybe you also struggle with:
Time
Having time to develop the skills necessary to be more involved in growing your own food.
Enough?
Knowing how to grow enough, but not too much, of the foods your family will actually eat.
A Short Season
The Northern Hemisphere growing season is short; how on earth can a year's food supply be grown?
No Waste!
What the heck do you do with all that food you could, or do, grow? The last thing you want is to cause more waste.
Are you ready to join a group of like- minded people and EAT WELL this year?

Meet the instructor
Chef Seth Peterson
Seth Peterson is a cook and a second generation urban farmer, who grew up among chickens and mulch piles in Berkeley. He went on to gain his wealth of knowledge and culinary experience living, working and cooking in the U.S., Mexico & Brazil over the last 30 years.
Upon returning home to Berkeley, California to take over his mother's urban organic garden, he came across permaculture, which gave him a systems perspective to regenerate our neighborhoods, our society and our culture, and to do so at the dinner table. To do so through one of our most treasured cultural activities, through growing, cooking and eating food.
From soil to soul, he combines his twin passions, cooking and teaching, by cooking in community and re-skilling people, connecting them to great local farms and ranches. Seth teaches and consults both nationally and internationally, as he delves deeper and deeper into this endless endeavor… building local communities around local food.
