Advanced plant-based techniques can seem complex, with many elements working together to shape flavour and texture. We break these techniques down into clear, practical foundations, exploring fermentation, cultured creams, stocks, emulsions, and preservation alongside fire and dehydration. Rather than fixed formulas, these tools are taught as flexible methods, helping you build confident, intuitive dishes across breakfast, main courses, and desserts.

Alchemy Academy is Amazing! I was fortunate enough to be able to attend a course in August 2019. Its not just about the amazing food you learn to create but also the philosophy of kindness and connection with food as a living entity that really impressed me.
I am really glad I decided to join this course. It’s such an inspiring, wonderful and super useful subject! I love everything about it
“My time was so amazing, I was expecting a cooking course and I got so much more! Everything was intentional and beautifully curated to create an experience to remember.”
It was a 13 day absolutely life changing course that not only taught me how to cook vegan and raw food but also showed me the importance of hydration, hygiene, knife skills, all about kombucha, all about chocolate, group coaching.
Wonderful location and beautiful venue! Come here for a free dessert tasting when they host it! If you are enrolled in a raw vegan cooking class with Alchemy, you'll probably have your class here. The staff is friendly and helpful as well.
The Alchemy level 1 course opened my heart in so many ways. It wasn't just a course about raw vegan course it was about connecting deeply with myself and my core values in life ✨
