Such a fantastic experience taking my first course at the Culinary Lab! The Plant-based Boot Camp was just what I needed to feel more confident and creative preparing vegan meals. Chef TC was amazing! He taught us the science behind different cooking practices and even shared knife skills and other tips to make us as successful as we possibly could be.

I retired this past year and had always wanted to attend culinary school - it is never too late to follow your passion.

It was a very challenging & rewarding experience & without reservation I highly recommend this school. Less…
