The world is waking up to the harsh realities of the animal agriculture industry, and we are increasingly being exposed to its exploitative practices. But that doesn’t mean we need to stop enjoying our favourite foods! I have taken some classic continental recipes and made them cruelty-free and totally delicious. If you are looking to switch things up and try your hand at making this fancy meal using no animal ingredients, this course is for you 🙂
The recipes taught in this short course are beginner-friendly – don’t worry, you need not be a kitchen pro by any means to be able to participate and learn. The recipes are actually simpler than you would imagine.
Take note that while we have nothing against soy, the recipes in this course are entirely SOY-FREE too.

Instructor
Hi there! I'm Samyukta Kartik, your instructor and mentor for this course. Having built valuable skills and knowledge in the world of plant-based cuisine over the years, I'm thrilled to be able to share it with you all!
The recipes taught in this course are beginner-friendly – don’t worry, you need not be a kitchen pro by any means to be able to participate and learn. The recipes are actually simpler than you would imagine. However, if you have never used basic kitchen appliances in your life, you’re likely to find this course challenging.
The pre-recorded video lessons are very detailed, and will guide you through each recipe step by step. As a beginner, there is so much to learn and you won’t believe how quickly you will become confident with recipes that might seem like they are “advanced” at first.
There are no prerequisites, however it is important that you are eager to learn, that you’re self-motivated, and genuinely want to take time out to cook for yourself and your loved ones. You will greatly benefit from this course if you take it seriously and practice! That’s only up to you 🙂
Your course begins as soon as you enroll. This is an entirely self-paced course, which means there are no specific dates for attendance. It’s flexible so that it suits your convenience and you can learn at any time.
Just take note that you’ll have access to your course dashboard (with the videos) for SIX months, after which it will expire. Needless to say, this provides ample time for you to thoroughly learn these THREE recipes! But you do also get a downloadable PDF with all the recipes. This you get to keep forever, so you’ll never lose access to the recipes.
Sure! Here is a list of all the things you’ll need (including the quantities). As you can see, they are all super affordable and you’re likely to already have many of these in your kitchen. For some of the ingredients (agar agar powder and nutritional yeast, for example), links have been provided in the course.
