Plant-Based Cooking Classes: Live Healthier, Feel Better

Vegan cooking and nutrition instruction
All of Planted Platter’s classes offer an overview of whole food and vegan nutrition and typically include plant-based recipe demonstrations. Some classes are offered online via Zoom to keep it easy and convenient for everyone to participate, while other classes are provided in person with hands-on cooking for participants.

In all Planted Platter classes, you will learn the fundamentals of healthy vegan cooking and eating a whole-food, plant-based diet. Sign up for anything that fits your schedule!

  • Community Cooking Classes, which are frequently offered in collaboration with community organizations, typically focus on preparing easy, well-balanced, plant-based recipes. All recipes are provided so you can make them at home.
  • Food For Life Classes usually highlight how a plant-based diet can address specific health conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, cancer, obesity, brain health, mental health, and reproductive health. Culinary instructor Deb Czech is licensed by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine to teach Food For Life classes, which promote healthful eating based on the latest scientific research. In addition to receiving the recipes for the in-class cooking demonstration, your class packet will include detailed handouts and resources on healthy vegan nutrition. Each class includes a short video segment by medical professionals, who discuss the effectiveness of a plant-based diet in improving human health.

Private group classes for individuals, employers, non-profits, places of worship, and clubs: Planted Platter will work directly with you to teach a class either in-person or online via Zoom. Please use the Contact form to submit your inquiry or call Deb Czech at Planted Platter at 518.350.4080.
