Program details

INITIAL CONSULT: We'll discuss -- either in-person or on the phone -- your motivation for enrolling in VV, what you hope to gain, and I'll answer any questions you may have.

Then, simply visit my meal chart. Select as many or as few dishes as you'd like from my "basic" or "gourmet" meal plans. If you know of other dishes you'd like to experiment with, I can certainly customize a special plan for you. Just ask!
 
In order to give you quality, personalized attention, I generally only work with one or two people at a time; however, a larger group may be arranged at your discretion.

GROCERY TOUR: For those unfamiliar with the latest, greatest vegan foods & brands, we'll visit a grocery/natural food market in your area, either where you currently shop or at a store offering a more interesting selection. I'll introduce you to a totally plant-based "parallel universe" of foods you may not know exist!
                          
COOKING LESSONS: Most clients choose four meals, one from each category, and we prepare two in one session and two in the following lesson, usually within the next week or soon after that; however, you may select as many as you'd like from any category.

When you're finished your cooking sessions, you'll receive a resource folder with nutritional fact sheets, recipes, local restaurant/grocery guides, helpful online & local resources, and more.

My fees     
$100 for first hour; for each additional hour, $50.
My minimum charge is $100. You reimburse me for cost of ingredients. I don't charge you for my travel time.

How much does the typical client pay?
Between $350-$450*

*based on a one-hour grocery store tour and four meals — a breakfast/brunch; side/appetizer; dinner; and dessert.

TIP:  My "basic" dishes are generally less expensive, as the ingredients are fewer and take less time to make. Organic ingredients typically cost more.

Why is VV such a great deal?
You receive personalized attention typically not available in other cooking classes. Also, the initial phone consult, the information folder, and six months of phone/email support are FREE. 
No cooking? No problem!
I offer a "no cooking" option if you don't want to learn to cook but would still like to eat more vegan foods; we'll simply tour store(s) carrying convenience & ready-to-eat foods. My price per hour is the same.
