It’s a short, beginner-friendly online course that teaches you the foundations of whole food plant-based cooking. You’ll learn how to cook without oil, artificial sweeteners, or processed sugar, using simple everyday ingredients.

This course is perfect for anyone wanting to eat cleaner, reduce oil, or understand the basics of healthy plant-based cooking. Even if you're new to the kitchen, the lessons are simple, practical, and easy to follow.

Yes. Every recipe is made using whole foods only — no oil, refined sugar, artificial sweeteners, or heavily processed ingredients.

Not really. Most recipes use common whole ingredients such as vegetables, legumes, fruits, grains, nuts, and seeds. If something is not available in your area, you can ask in the community page for substitutes or find simple alternatives.

Yes. Before each activity, you’ll go through the recipe and create your own list of ingredients and tools needed for your kitchen. It helps you stay organised and ready.

Because we teach global and modern vegan recipes, certain ingredients may be harder to find in some regions. Here’s what we recommend:

• Use your own judgement and research simple replacements

• Check your local stores or online suppliers

• Ask us in the community page — our chefs and students are quick with practical swaps Cooking is flexible. Don’t worry if you can’t find the exact item.

No special equipment is required. Your regular home kitchen tools are enough to complete the course. (We’ll share a more detailed tools list separately.)

No. A regular home kitchen works perfectly. We designed the course so anyone can learn from home.

Absolutely. It’s designed to make whole-food cooking feel easy and approachable. No prior culinary experience is needed.

All content is online and self-paced. You can watch the videos anytime and practise the recipes in your own kitchen.

All lessons are pre-recorded. You can watch them anytime, from anywhere. Practical tasks help you apply what you learn, and you submit photographs of your work through the platform for chef feedback.

Yes. Each recipe or activity includes a practical task so you can learn by doing, not just watching.

Yes. You’ll upload photos of your cooking process, and chefs will give you supportive feedback to help you improve.

Definitely. It’s a great starting point if you’re trying to reduce oil, cook at home more often, or transition to whole plant-based eating.

You get lifetime access once you purchase the program, so you can revisit the lessons whenever you want.

The core content and learning support are provided by our trusted partner Rouxbe.com, a global leader in online culinary education. We’ve chosen them for their professional curriculum and high-quality instruction.

Not exactly. The Whole Food Program is a much shorter course that focuses only on the basics of cooking — specifically oil-free, whole-food techniques. Some foundational topics may overlap with our in-person program, but the offline course is far more detailed and covers a wider range of skills.

This program includes only the lessons that fit a no-oil, whole-food approach, making it a simple and focused introduction to healthier cooking.

We are building a dedicated job board where students will be able to find internships, kitchen openings, and project-based opportunities with cafés, restaurants, and plant-based brands.

You’ll also get priority access as soon as it launches. Our goal is to give you real industry exposure and a clear next step after completing your course.

You will receive a separate mail with step by step guide to login. But, If you face any trouble logging in or setting up your course, we’re here to help. You can reach out to us by email or request a quick support call. We’ll guide you step-by-step and make sure you’re fully set up before you begin learning.

We do not offer refunds. Once you purchase the course, you get full access to all the content immediately, and in the past some students have misused this by downloading everything and cancelling. The upside is that you get lifetime access to the course at no extra cost. You can learn at your own pace and revisit the lessons anytime in the future.
