What you'll do

In this hands-on cooking class just outside of San Diego, you’ll learn how to prepare an incredible four-course plant-based menu using fresh ingredients straight from Chef Jordan’s culinary garden. You’ll gain practical cooking skills and an insight into the health benefits of your food!

Perfect for curious beginners and seasoned chefs alike, you’ll be guided through each cooking stage, highlighting superfoods, herbs, and spices that can heal the body. You don’t have to be vegan/vegetarian to enjoy this class – if you’re looking to learn more about food health and use all local, organic, and non-GMO ingredients, this is for you!

Our resident expert Chef Jordan will be on hand to assist you as you work on your culinary masterpieces, and you’ll enjoy stunning lakeside views as you cook and connect.

On the menu:

Cilantro black bean cakes, topped with roasted red pepper aioli.
Handcrafted gluten-free fettuccine with lemon-basil cashew pesto.
Handmade cacao mint ice cream.

You’ll walk away from this plant-based cooking class with a brand new cooking skillset and all the techniques to create nutritious food at home.

Please note:

We can accommodate any allergies or dietary restrictions – reach out!

Reasonable Travel fees may apply for smaller groups or locations outside central San Diego.
