Plant-Based Culinary Intensive A Two-Day Immersive Weekend Nottinghamshire | Limited to 6 participants EARLY BIRD £45 DISCOUNT gifted to bookings made in my birthday month of March 🎈 Enter Early45 at checkout to receive your discount Two-day immersive weekend designed to transform the way you cook plant-based food and reconnect with the ancient wisdom of nourishing yourself through plants. If you struggle with flavourless meals, feel stuck in repetitive recipes, or lack confidence cooking vegetables, tofu, and plant-based proteins, this weekend is your opportunity to change that. For centuries, people have understood how to turn what grows from the earth into meals that are deeply satisfying, nourishing, and creative. Over time, much of that knowledge has been lost to heavily processed convenience foods. This weekend invites you to reclaim that knowledge, learning techniques, flavour combinations, and intuitive cooking practices that allow you to create vibrant, wholesome meals that nourish your body and delight your senses. Drawing on my experience as a professional plant-based retreat chef working across the UK and Europe, I’ll be sharing some of my retreat recipes and techniques. You’ll learn how to create dishes that are not just nourishing but retreat worthy, combining professional level flavour, texture, and presentation, all within a small group, hands on environment. Through guided practice, you’ll leave with the confidence, skills, and insight to cook plant-based meals with ease, all entirely transferable to your home kitchen. --- What We’ll Explore Across the weekend, you will learn how to: - Build depth of flavour and texture using whole, seasonal ingredients - Transform vegetables and plant-based proteins into centre-stage dishes - Make sauces, dressings, and marinades from scratch to elevate every meal - Apply simple, intuitive techniques rather than relying on strict recipes - Create plant-based desserts and baked goods that are naturally satisfying - Plate and present food with care, balance, and retreat-inspired beauty You’ll leave with the skills and confidence to bring this knowledge into your cooking , transforming everyday meals into something nourishing, inspiring, and professional level. --- The Experience This is a fully hands on, small group course. With just six participants, you’ll receive close guidance, time to practice techniques, and opportunities to ask questions. Learn professional habits such as playing techniques, taste testing, and ingredient intuition. Generous breaks allow time to reflect, reset, and absorb new knowledge. By the end of the weekend, you’ll feel equipped to cook with confidence, creativity, and connection . rediscovering the art of plant-based nourishment, using techniques I employ in retreats around the world. All ingredients are included in our well equipped spacious kitchen. --- Who This Is For This weekend is ideal for anyone who: - Wants to cook plant-based meals with confidence - Feels stuck in repetitive meal patterns or reliant on processed foods - Wants to reconnect with ingredients, seasonality, and flavour - Wants to create dishes that are professional level, retreat worthy, and beautiful You don’t need to be vegan only open, curious, and ready to explore. --- What You’ll Leave With - Confidence to cook plant-based meals that are nourishing, balanced, and vibrant - A deeper understanding of how flavours, textures, and natural ingredients work together - Skills to prepare tofu and plant-based proteins in exciting, versatile ways - Knowledge of plating and presentation inspired by retreats and professional kitchens - Practical takeaways, notes, and recipes to continue this practice at home --- Details Location : Rural Nottinghamshire (exact venue shared upon booking) Dates: April 25th & 26th Time: 9:30am – 3.30pm & 10am - 3pm Investment: £450 or £405 with early bird discount Group Size: Limited to 6 participants All ingredients and refreshments are provided throughout the day and you can enjoy the dishes we create together.
