About Us
Welcome to the Natural Epicurean! Join us on our journey of teaching and exploring plant-based cuisine and the healing powers of food.
Natural Epicurean is devoted to consciously cooking a health-supportive, plant-based diet. We embrace a holistic view of health that takes physical, energetic, mental, emotional, societal and environmental influences into consideration, and believe diet can bolster health on all these levels. We are committed to non-dogmatism, the belief that there is no one diet that can suit every person’s health needs, so instead of a strict regimen our goal is to offer a broad base of nutritious knowledge that allows flexibility.
Natural Epicurean trains chefs in the theory and practice of meal planning and preparation in a wide variety of styles including:
At the same time, we also train students to develop their skills so that they may transcend these categories and make sound dietary decisions by preparing a wide range of delicious, health-supportive foods. In particular, we emphasize the preparation of locally-available, seasonal natural foods to delight the senses and promote good health. Students are also trained in the business skills and ethics necessary to prepare them for rewarding culinary careers.
In addition to professional chef training, Natural Epicurean also offers the public a variety of learning opportunities including hosted classes and Physician’s Kitchen.
