Natural Chef – Diploma

The curriculum in this training supports the skills and thinking for anyone wanting to work in the food industry. Knowing how to troubleshoot, invent, create a personal style with the simplest, cleanest, ingredients in the most efficient, cost productive way is useful for anyone who works with food. This program prepares graduates to have a thorough experience of plant-based ingredients, beyond the usual dishes that are popular. They will have tools to up-grade well-known dishes and translate traditional recipes into whole, plant protein, low – no sugar, gluten-free dishes.

Lab Sessions

Teacher mentoring during lab sessions are held throughout the nine month training utilizing online technology to take place in each student’s kitchen. The student teacher ratio is one teacher for two – three students. Teachers observe and communicate directly with students privately and in groups, while they practice the details of Intuitive Cooking and technicalities of cooking methods.
