KITCHEN RESETS
This session covers how to gear you pantry and kitchen for a plant-based lifestyle, including the replacements of key ingredients of conventional cooking, e.g. milk, eggs, meat protein, etc. A basic introduction for those who are starting off on the exciting vegan journey. Participants leave with numerous recipes, tips and know-hows.
UMAMI WORKSHOPS
Umami is a savoury taste, associated with achieving a fully balanced flavour sensation when combined with the other 4 tastes (sweet, sour, bitter, salty). This balance can be tricky to achieve in vegan cuisine. In this workshop we explore ways to obtain sensational tastes in vegan dishes.
MEAL PLANNING
This session focuses on practical and economical 5-day plant-based meal plans, specifically geared for busy people whose time in the kitchen is limited. This is a session that will send you home with a MealPlan tool and numerous recipes to play with.
CUSTOMISED WORKSHOPS
Geared for the catering and tourism trade to train chefs, cooks and hosting personnel to accommodate guests’ increasing demand for plant-based meals. This training also includes food intolerances and allergies. Recipes are demonstrated and existing recipes are adapted and customised where applicable.
Off-site sessions can be hosted in elaborate and luxurious kitchens or in the most basic open fire facility. These are customised and normally include the use of local produce.
