Culinary nutrition consulting & program development
Bring your nutrition expertise to life.
Thoughtful strategy, engaging recipes, and practical resources that help people put nutrition into practice.
I partner with nutrition professionals and organizations to strengthen existing programs and develop custom culinary nutrition experiences—from the first idea to the materials your team needs to deliver them.
Two Ways to Work Together
Where are you in the process?
Refine an existing program
Culinary Nutrition Program Review
You’ve created a workshop, course, or series. Get an expert perspective on what’s working, what could be stronger, and where to focus next.
Create a custom program
Custom Program Development
Give your organization a cohesive culinary nutrition program, complete with recipes and resources, developed for your audience and presented under your brand.
For nutrition professionals & small teams
A fresh perspective.
A clearer plan.
Even when you know your subject and you’ve put time and care into your program, it can be difficult to step back and see how the pieces fit together or what participants need to make the experience more useful.
My program review combines a detailed look at your materials with a focused strategy session. Together, we’ll identify opportunities to strengthen the learning experience, make food and cooking more approachable, and connect your content to practical action.
A good fit if you:
Have a workshop, course, or series you want to refine before launch.
Want to incorporate recipes, cooking, or food-based activities more intentionally.
Have delivered your program and want to improve the next version.
Need a clear order of priorities rather than support with more ideas.
What’s included:
Project intake and expert review: feedback on program structure, learning objectives, culinary activities, participant resources, and delivery.
Written recommendations: specific opportunities to build on what’s working and address gaps.
A 60-minute strategy session: talk through the feedback and explore your next steps.
A prioritized action plan: leave knowing what to focus on first.
One follow-up email: clarify questions as you begin making changes.
The review covers one agreed program and set of materials. Scope, investment, and timing are confirmed before booking. Content revisions and new resource development can be quoted separately.
For organizations, brands & established practices
Your audience.
Your brand.
A program built for both.
You want to offer a meaningful culinary nutrition experience, but developing the curriculum, recipes, and participant materials takes time and specialized expertise.
I bring nutrition science, culinary training, and curriculum development together to create a program that fits your audience, supports your goals, and gives your team a clear path to delivery.
From a standalone workshop to a multi-session series, each project is tailored to how—and where—you plan to use it.
Designed for:
Corporate wellness teams, healthcare and community organizations, food and wellness brands, and nutrition practices expanding their programming.
Custom projects are priced by scope. Your proposal outlines deliverables, revision rounds, timeline, file formats, and permitted use. Photography, video production, platform setup, and live facilitation can be discussed separately.
Your project can include:
Program strategy: audience needs, learning objectives, format, and session structure.
Curriculum and presentations: a cohesive progression of lessons and activities.
Recipe development and testing: recipes suited to your audience, theme, and delivery setting.
Participant resources: workbooks, recipe cards, shopping lists, and practical take-home tools.
Facilitator resources: teaching notes, preparation guides, and equipment checklists.
Branded materials and handoff: resources presented under your organization’s brand, with an orientation to support delivery.

Nutrition expertise.
A culinary perspective.
A teacher’s approach.
I’m Shauna McQueen, MS, RD—a Registered Dietitian, culinary-trained educator, and former Director of Nutrition & Well-being.
My experience spans corporate wellness, curriculum development, and hands-on culinary education. I understand both the strategy behind a program and the details that make it work: clear instructions, inspired and approachable recipes, purposeful activities, and resources people keep coming back to.
I bring that perspective to every collaboration, helping you create an experience that reflects your expertise and meets your audience where they are.

Frequently Asked Questions

You need enough material for meaningful feedback, but your program doesn’t have to be polished or already launched. An outline with draft lessons and resources may be a good starting point. Share what you have, and we’ll confirm whether a review is the right fit.

Yes. Custom development can include white-labeled materials using your organization’s name and visual identity. Your proposal will specify the branding, file formats, and rights to use, edit, and distribute the resources.
