Anti-inflammatory & Low Glycemic Index Cooking: Everyday Techniques and Recipes
From 51.92 £ /h
This course is for people who want to learn how to cook in a way that meets specific dietary needs, particularly for those with diabetes, food allergies, or autoimmune diseases. The goal is to acquire simple, safe, and effective cooking techniques that allow you to prepare delicious meals while respecting nutritional restrictions and general health recommendations.
The course focuses on food education and culinary practice:
understanding of the ingredients and their effects (glycemic index, inflammatory load, common allergens),
adapting traditional recipes into lighter and better-tolerated versions,
food choices and cooking methods that promote balance,
smart substitutions (gluten-free, lactose-free, plant-based alternatives, low glycemic impact options),
prevention of cross-contamination in case of allergies,
meal planning and weekly preparation.
With extensive training in nutrition and wellness, as well as a long professional background in management, analysis, and communication, I take a structured, clear, and accessible approach. This course is not a substitute for medical advice, but it provides practical tools for cooking more mindfully, consciously, and healthily every day.
The sessions can take place in person in Geneva or online, depending on your preferences.

About Me
I hold a degree in Business Administration and have worked for over 35 years as a senior executive in Portugal. My career has required me to use Portuguese daily in demanding contexts: drafting financial reports and legal documents, managing institutional communications, and coordinating teams. This experience has given me a thorough command of European Portuguese, both in its formal aspects and in its practical, professional use.
Alongside my career, I have completed several training courses in the fields of health, nutrition, and well-being. I have developed a structured, rigorous, and accessible approach to these topics, which I now share with students wishing to better understand food, nutritional balance, and healthy lifestyle habits.
I therefore teach two complementary subjects:
European Portuguese, for adults, professionals and expatriates who wish to communicate with clarity and confidence;
nutrition and well-being, for those who want to understand the scientific and practical basis of a balanced diet.
My goal is to offer serious, personalized support geared towards concrete results.

This course is for adults, expats, and professionals who want to learn or improve their European Portuguese, whether for personal, professional, or cultural reasons. European Portuguese has phonetic differences and is often spoken at a faster pace than Brazilian Portuguese, which can make listening comprehension more challenging. My goal is to help you understand, speak, and use the language confidently and naturally.
The sessions are fully customized to your needs:
Listening comprehension of European Portuguese
practical and contextualized conversation,
pronunciation, rhythm and intonation,
professional vocabulary (tourism, commerce, finance, legal),
preparation for real-life situations (meetings, trips, professional exchanges),
reading and understanding authentic documents.
Thanks to my professional experience of over 35 years as a business manager in Portugal, I have developed a thorough command of the language in its formal, administrative, and professional uses. I have also worked with students from diverse backgrounds, such as a simultaneous interpreter, a tour guide, and an international trade professional, each with specific language objectives.
Courses can be held in person in Geneva or online, depending on your preference. The approach is practical, structured, and results-oriented, so you can progress quickly and use European Portuguese in your daily or professional life.
