WHAT MY GRADUATES SAY
“The Vegan Chef School was just what I needed to show me the way into the blossoming industry of vegan food. It helped me to turn my passion and skills into a career. It connected me with driven, creative and like-minded budding chefs. And most importantly it gave me confidence that I could make it in a professional environment.”
“I loved my time learning at The Vegan Chef School and feel so much more confident since graduating. Every week was exciting and different. The teacher I had is extremely skilled and knowledgeable. I felt we covered so much ground and so many forms of vegan cooking over the duration of the course and I also felt extremely supported by all of the fantastic staff. I still use the recipes we were taught regularly and feel much more able to experiment with baking and pasta making. I couldn’t recommend the school enough to anyone looking to become a vegan chef or home cook.”
“Chef Day is breaking new ground in the world of vegan, gluten-free fine dining. Taking this course has changed the trajectory of my life, from scientist-entrepreneur to enthusiastic vegan chef! From homemade ravioli and pizza to fermenting and fine pastries, the Vegan Chef School recipes and lessons completely blew my mind. You and your family will love it!”
“The School is extremely welcoming and works hard to provide the best possible training. The course will challenge you to learn, and push beyond your current ability, with professional support every step of the way.”
“This course was seriously one of the best things I’ve ever done. It was the highlight of my week learning from Chef Day and cheffing alongside people who quickly turned into my friends. More than a year later, I’m still using the techniques Chef Day taught us. Wish I could do it all over again!!”
“Studying at The Vegan Chef school gave me the confidence to go from a passionate home cook to currently working in a professional kitchen. The course empowered me and elevated my techniques in a safe space of mindfulness and community.
I hope to one day start a business of my own and with the training I received I now feel like I have the know how to develop my skills further on my journey and have a deeper understanding of how to run a vegan food business.
I was also grateful to receive industry insight and advice from Chef Day and the other mentors to learn more about what the future of plant based food looks like - and it’s an exciting one.”
“Chef Day Radley is the most influential person I have ever met for my career, her teaching has helped me launch my own vegan company and without her amazing school I wouldn’t have progressed this much as a chef. The Vegan Chef School is where I mastered my trade and I have Chef Day to thank for that and I owe her so much for all her help and development.”
