These chocolates were inspired by Pandora who is our assistant teacher on courses and in the training. She gifted me a jar of dehydrated oranges that she had made in the winter and when we had some left over chocolate from making hazel bombs we chopped up some of the orange slices and girl oh girl it’s the best chocolate I have ever had.

The last two weeks I facilitated the 3 day Vegan Foundation Cooking Course. Everyone who attended were blown away with how much is packed into these three days and how many wonderful things they learned to implement into the kitchen and their daily lives. I luckily get to do it all over again in two weeks and I have two spots left. Who wants to come and join the kitchen magic?

 

Here are some photos from the last Vegan Foundation Course. It was a beauty as the pictures show. So much enthusiasm and so much fabulous food cooked.

There have been some changes made to the Vegan Chef Training this year due to COVID restrictions and some borders still being closed. I am happy to say that some of the training will still go ahead and there will be chances for people who have already attended the vegan foundation course to jump in for modules 2 to 5. You can choose to come and do a raw food module or the Ayurveda course or the macrobiotic, wholefoods and Italian cooking or a morning of fermented grain method of cooking (with Todd Cameron) or an afternoon of sauerkraut with me or a morning of miso and tofu with Kiriko or afternoon of jamu, kamboucha and fire tonic (with Lilli and Sue from Forrest Organics). It is exciting that I will still be able to keep it running in a condensed way. Below are the details and new prices etc.
