The 10MEN Culinary Program

One man. Ten weeks. A group in his corner.

What it is

A 10-week online group cooking program for men. Each week, a small group cooks together live with a clinical nutritionist. Between sessions, three AI assistants help with the practical side: a daily nudge (The Watchman), recipes that fit his kitchen (The Sous-Chef), and help with travel, eating out and busy weeks (The Friction Fighter). Two people lead, always. The food is largely based around Mediterranean-style, Canada's 2019 Dietary Guidelines and is plant-centric. The goal is simple: by week ten, he can cook. The program is developed by the co-authors, Catherine Connally (MSACN, DipACLM) and Charles Best, of the award-winning culinary travel books, Flavour with Benefits: France and Flavour with Benefits: Sicily & Calabria.

Who it's for

Men who want to actively learn to cook healthy food, especially busy men, men who travel, and men who have never really cooked. Men who are developing life changing habits. Men managing conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure are welcome. Every man is screened for allergies and medications at entry. The relationship with the doctor stays intact.
