Joy of Cooking


Joy of Cooking with Nihan — The Mediterranean Edition

A 10-week online journey to reclaim your joy for food, cooking, eating, and entertaining.

—in a way that nourishes you, delights you, and saves you effort.

An interactive 10-week online group program with live Zoom gatherings, a private community space, and lifetime access to all program materials, including call recordings, recipes, PDFs, and shared resources, so you can join live when you can and return to this work anytime, at your own pace.

What this journey offers

By the end of this program, you’ll be able to:

  • Create delicious meals without over-efforting

  • Actually enjoy the process of cooking

  • Look at a set of ingredients and confidently create a meal with ease

  • Shop for groceries knowing exactly what to buy and why

  • Be inspired by recipes, not bound or overwhelmed by them

  • Understand what’s actually going on in a recipe, so you can make it work for you

  • Feel replenished after cooking, not exhausted or resentful

  • Turn even the simplest meal into a celebration (if that’s fun for you)

  • Be the queen (or king) of your domain while still receiving from others

  • Elevate your everyday living through food

  • Make Mediterranean cuisine your own, adapting it to your culture, taste, mood, and the season


The Mediterranean is wide, generous, and endlessly adaptable. This course is designed to meet you where you are, and empower you to play. 

How we begin

We start with a Kick-Off Call, where you’ll receive energetic and mindset tools from Access Consciousness to move beyond judgment, pressure, and limitation, and begin discovering your unique way of creating delicious, healthy meals and beautiful experiences with ease.

Because how many of us have ever felt:

  • uninspired

  • desperate

  • resentful

  • overwhelmed

  • or quietly judged

…when it comes to cooking?

These practical tools become your foundation for the entire journey.

Welcome to Mediterranean Home Cooking

This is where I merge:

  • my dojo-style training from cooking alongside my mother, aunties, and grandmothers since I was a toddler

  • my multicultural lived experience

  • and my life as a modern professional woman

Everything is taught organically, this is not a lecture series.
It’s a joyful, interactive engagement.

Our weekly adventures are here to add ease and joy, not stress.

Live call schedule

Live calls take place on Wednesdays at 8:00 pm Vancouver time (PST).

All calls are recorded and added to your program library, so if you can’t attend live, or are joining from a different time zone, you can watch and integrate at your own pace. You’re also welcome to continue engaging in the private group, if you choose.

Is this for you?

This program is for you if:

  • You’d like food to feel supportive, nourishing, and joyful again

  • You’re done with pressure, perfectionism, and doing it “the right way”

  • You’d love Mediterranean-inspired cooking, especially if it’s simple, alive, and adaptable

  • You enjoy learning in a warm, interactive group space, without obligation or performance

  • You value having resources you can return to again and again, in your own time

You don’t need to be experienced (though experience is welcome).
You don’t need to cook everything from scratch (although you’ll be able to).
Just bring your curiosity, and a willingness to have fun.
