Vegan Plant Based Cooking Class

Healthy whole-food recipes to support health and well-being!

A plant-based diet is an excellent way to eat for good health and well-being or to simple challenge yourself to eat more vegetables. If you’re looking to improve your health or thinking of moving to a plant-based diet and need some inspiration, join Chef Darrin as he shares his favourite dishes and best hacks for a plant based diet.

During this fun and interactive class, enjoy cooking some of your own dishes while Darrin demonstrates some extra dishes for you to recreate at home. Enjoy all your dishes or take some tasters home for later.  All recipes will be supplied to take home. 

Our plant-based classes will run often and the menu will change frequently so you can keep coming back to learn more and more creative plant-based dishes.
