Becoming a culinary specialist requires extensive experience (often weighted heavier than formal education), hard work, dedication and patience. However, advances in technology and modern learning methods make our online Raw and Vegan Culinary Course a valuable resource. Online learning can integrate many different platforms that combine theory with practical applications.

It has never been a better time to learn the skills of a Raw and Vegan Chef – you could:

• Enhance the health and wellbeing of friends and family;
• Help to lower the risk of type 2 diabetes, heart and inflammatory diseases;
• Create a successful business in the area of plant based and raw food;
• Run classes to teach people how to take these skills back into their own world.

If any of these interest you, or you just want to increase the consumption of plant based meal, transition to a whole food plant based diet, or simply aspire to a career generally working with Raw and Plant Based food, this could be for you!

This is one of the fastest growing areas in the culinary world and in the world of nutrition.

Imagine being able to provide amazing food and knowing you are only enhancing people’s health in the process.

When Lucy Walter, founder of The Raw Food Institute of Australia, started working with raw food in 2008, it was almost unheard of in Australia. There certainly weren’t any cafés or restaurants that specialized in it. So, Lucy had to travel overseas to find places she could do courses, eat the food, and experience the health benefits.

When she brought home her knowledge and used it to open her little café in her country town, it went crazy. People realized they actually liked the flavor of a wholesome, delicious meal, and they loved the feeling after they ate. No more heavy, sleepy feelings after a good meal! Lucy and her team were standing room only on weekends.

Well, fortunately for those of us that have this passion, the general public is wanting more of this style of food around the world.

Can I study this and get culinary experience?

How do I make it work around my current lifestyle?

There are so many options to choose from once you have the skills. You have to look at what you want to use your training for. In Lucy’s case, it was to help her body heal from Multiple Sclerosis, and then, she just wanted to share this amazing style of eating and healing with her community.

Since opening her café in 2010, Lucy and team have influenced the eating habits of so many people and have helped create the demand for a higher quality style of dining and food preparation. They got to know so many friends who had similar stories and have impacted their family and friends with their training.

Are you inspired every day by your work?

Is it your passion?

Yes, that’s the word – “Passion”. Can you feel it in your belly as you start your work day?

Here’s what one of our friends says about working in this industry:

Why take our course?

As you are probably aware, the study of plant based food is still cutting edge and not part of any traditional food preparation training. You certainly won’t find this style of eating fitting in most conventional food pyramids, and you definitely won’t find it taught in traditional culinary arts programs.

Did you know you still can’t train to be a chef in some countries unless you are prepared to work with meat? Even knife skills include demonstrating how to fillet a fish, and to create different cuts of meat with different knives.

Our focus is on optimum health and state of the art food preparation. We believe food is a celebration of flavors and health. You don’t have to choose one over the other.
