Cooking for Health Coaches and Nutritional Therapists
Wholesome food needs to be tasty and enjoyable if we want healthy eating habits to stick. Nutrition & Health Coaches and Nutritional Therapists must be able to offer their clients practical guidance in the form of menu ideas, product recommendations, recipes and cooking tips.
Any useful nutrition course should teach practical knowledge and skills for preparing wholesome foods and meals. To serve this vital need we established our own dedicated cooking school and purpose-built ‘Taste Health’ demonstration kitchen, to offer virtual and live cooking days on our Nutrition & Health Coaching and Nutritional Therapy courses.
Maggie Lynch is Director of Cooking Services at IINH. She is a qualified chef with over 30 years experience in high-end catering. Maggie also founded The Soul Food Company, a boutique catering business based in Dublin. After graduating from IINH in 2005, Maggie blended her twin passions of cooking and nutrition into demonstration classes themed around health issues.
“Nutrition education without cooking is like driving lessons without a car” Maggie Lynch
Our coaching students attend two full days of cooking classes online. They also have the option to attend a cooking day in the Taste Health kitchen, where Maggie and her team demonstrate a dozen or more delicious dishes from scratch, providing a wonderful buffet spread at the end. Students also receive a pack including recipes, tips on products, time-saving, storing and cooking, plus other practical materials for their own use and to offer future clients.
Cooking days for those on the Nutritional Therapy course focus on topics such as ‘free-from’ cooking and baking, fermented and cultured foods, as well as vegan, paleo, ketogenic, Fodmaps and other specialised dietary needs.

It’s not common to receive such generous treatment. It has been a very special day, and I am aware of the energy you put in. The space is gorgeous, the mirror showing all the details. The helpers were quick and attentive! The recipes are easy to replicate, and with the written format on hand, can also quickly be followed during the live session.
Giving options for alternatives is great and helpful. Same for the storage tips in condiments, the garlic and ginger, for example, are added superpowers. Thank you very very much, it has been a wonderful day, and I hope it won’t be long before we all meet again.
I thought you were amazing, generous honest and fun. You made the whole experience very personal and intimate. I felt we came into the day as strangers and left as friends. Thanks for the wine, the laughs and the company and above all your time and energy that you poured into the day and the dishes, I felt it all. I am always available to come back.
