What Our Plant-Based Cooking Course Covers

70+ lessons. World cuisines. Real technique. Guaranteed Internships.

From knife skills and flavour balancing to fermentation, raw gastronomy, gluten-free baking, and fine desserts — our curriculum is practical and hands-on from day one.

You'll explore cuisines from India, Japan, Mexico, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and the Mediterranean. You'll learn the basics of plant-based nutrition. With our small batch size of just 14 students, you get personalised attention and direct feedback from specialist chefs.

You'll practise daily, experiment freely, and build a strong foundation in both cooking techniques and food science. You'll also develop a few of your own recipes and build a portfolio you're proud of.

By the end, you'll cook with confidence — in any kitchen, for any occasion.
