Broaden Your Plant-based Horizons, Without Compromising on Flavour
Are you intrigued by plant-based cooking and excited to master vegan versions of some of your all-time comforting favourites?
Whether you’ve already adopted a plant-based lifestyle, or you’re keen to explore the foundations, this practical, hands-on course will provide you with new ideas and fresh approaches to vegetables and other exciting fare, designed to elevate your cooking skills to an impressive new level. Embrace a host of unique flavours and discover how to prepare a broad range of well-loved, wholesome dishes using entirely plant-based ingredients.
Centred around several celebrated eating occasions, this immersive 6-week online course will arm you with flavoursome dishes steering away from the bland vegan staples, and expand your adventurous repertoire.
With the guidance of Leiths professional chefs and educators, you’ll master a lavish weekend brunch spread complete with a fluffy pancake stack and “buttery” mushrooms on toast, a globally inspired street food feast with Korean tofu bulgogi and fragrant Jamaican jackfruit curry, and the ultimate plant-based Sunday roast with all the trimmings.
For enthusiastic cooks who are ready to take the leap towards a full-time diet of plant-rich recipes, this course will lead you to reimagine classic favourites with a vegan – but no less delicious – twist, and diversify your everyday meals. And for those just beginning to explore plant-based cooking, who are perhaps considering Veganuary for next year or intending to introduce even just one vegan day to their week, Leiths’ Plant-Based Eating course will help you make small changes that feel natural.
