Remote Coaching “Working with NY Food Coach Jessica Taft has been a surprisingly great experience. I haven’t just learned how to prepare new dishes, but also how to be aware of my calorie intake, and where to buy ‘secret ingredients!’ Most importantly Jessica took the time to understand my dietary restrictions, taste, and overall requirements in order to teach me exactly what I was hoping to learn.” Simon M.
Let NYFC help in phone and e-mail sessions. You can expect personal attention by NYFC herself via phone appointments and monthly customized recipes. Please contact NYFC for reasonable monthly pricing.
In-person lesson time minimums
A two-hour minimum is required for each lesson, but no minimum amount of lessons is required. I customize all lessons depending upon the time allotted, as well as your healthy eating goals. A two-hour lesson will normally cover from two to four recipes. Time flies when we’re having fun and learning in the kitchen! Clients should feel free to opt for sessions longer than two hours. If we are cooking at your home, please allow for an appropriate amount of time to complete the lesson without other household distractions.
Hourly rates, charges & deposits
The following rates include customized recipe development, food shopping and semi-preparation of food (for an effective use of your lesson time). Ingredients used in your cooking lesson are included in the hourly rate. After each lesson, you will have your custom recipes, hands-on preparation experience, information on ingredients used, possible articles on relevant points discussed and, of course, a fully cooked meal!
Out-of-Towners Welcome!
Yes, come and spend a week or long weekend and soak in all that NYC has to offer. By day you will learn according to your specific goals, whether for weight loss or wanting to eat healthier, maybe incorporate vegetarian dishes though you aren’t 100% a vegetarian. Depending on the length of your stay and your goals, we can food tour to NYFC’s favorite spice/ingredient market(s), whether permitting go for long walks in the city stopping along the way to take in the sites. At night, take in a show, performance, whatever NYC has to offer. I recommend AKA hotel right next door to NYFC because it is convenient and has a full kitchen in every unit. Call or write for pricing, as it depends on the time of year as far as my daily rates go.
