Culinary Nutrition Program Review
You’ve built something meaningful.
Let’s make it stronger.
Get a thoughtful review of your culinary nutrition program, practical recommendations, and a private strategy session to help you move forward with clarity.
Whether you’re preparing to launch a workshop, refining a group series, or adding food and cooking to an existing program, I’ll help you see what’s working—and where intentional changes could strengthen the experience.
A fresh perspective
It’s hard to see the whole picture when you’re close to the work.
You know your subject and care about your audience. But translating that expertise into an engaging program brings a different set of questions.
Does the content flow naturally? Are you trying to cover too much? Do the recipes and activities reinforce your message? Will participants leave knowing how to put what they’ve learned into practice?
You don’t have to work through those questions alone.
My program review combines nutrition expertise, a culinary perspective, and experience in curriculum development to help you refine your work with purpose.
Is this for you?
Bring the program you’ve been working on.
Designed for Registered Dietitians, nutrition professionals, and small teams with an existing workshop, course, or series.
Your program doesn’t need to be polished. It does need enough structure and content for useful, specific feedback.
You have a draft and want an expert perspective before launching.
You want to incorporate food, recipes, or cooking more meaningfully.
You’ve delivered your program and want to improve the next version.
You need help making your content more focused, engaging, or practical.
You have plenty of ideas but need direction on what to change first
What we’ll look at
The content, the experience,
and how they fit together.
Purpose and progression
Are your objectives clear? Does each session or activity support them? Does the program move at a manageable pace?
Culinary nutrition integration
Do the recipes, demonstrations, and food-based activities connect naturally to your nutrition guidance?
Participant experience
Are instructions approachable? Have you considered kitchen confidence, available time, equipment, and common barriers?
Resources and take-home tools
Do your slides, handouts, recipes, and workbooks support learning and help participants take action afterward?
Practical delivery
Is the experience realistic for your format, setting, and session length? What could make preparation and facilitation smoother?
We’ll focus the review on the areas most relevant to your goals and the materials you share.
What’s included
Expert feedback you can put to work.

Meet your reviewer
A nutrition professional, culinary educator, and curriculum developer.
I’m Shauna McQueen, MS, RD, founder of Food School.
My background brings together nutrition science, culinary training, curriculum development, and corporate wellness. As a former Director of Nutrition & Well-being, I understand the planning behind a program as well as the details that make it work for the people participating.
I bring that same thoughtful approach to your review: listening to your goals, building on your strengths, and helping you shape an experience that reflects your expertise.
Scope & investment
Clear expectations from the start.
Each review covers one agreed program and a defined set of materials. Your investment reflects the program’s size and the depth of review needed.
Before booking, you’ll receive a clear outline of what’s included, the fee, and the timeline.
This service provides feedback and strategic direction. Rewriting curriculum, developing or testing recipes, redesigning resources, and creating new materials can be discussed as a separate project.
Your questions, answered
A few things you may be wondering.
-
No. A developed outline with draft content and resources may be enough for a useful review. If you’re still at the initial idea stage, share that in your inquiry so we can determine the right next step.
-
No. I can review culinary nutrition workshops, group programs, workplace wellness sessions, community education, and courses that incorporate food-based learning. The focus is on helping your audience put nutrition into practice.
-
Yes! Share what you’ve learned from delivering it, including participant feedback or challenges you encountered. That context can help us identify improvements for the next version.
-
The review gives you written recommendations and a plan for making the changes yourself. If you would like implementation support, we can discuss a separate development project.
-
Recipe selection and teaching suitability can be considered within the agreed review. Recipe testing, nutrient analysis, and accreditation applications are separate services. A program review does not provide or guarantee CPEU approval.
-
We’ll confirm the timeline before booking, based on the volume of materials and current availability. If you’re working toward a launch date, include it in your inquiry.
