My two weeks spent at Vegan Fusion classes offered an amazing array of plant-based recipes alongside a comprehensive vegan culinary education. From soups and salads, to grains and beans, cooked foods and raw, I have learned more about vegan food preparation than I ever thought possible in such a short time. Mark is a most talented chef, who brings wit and creativity to the kitchen and much nourishment to the table. And the best part has been in the eating! – Diana Blend, 10-day Vegan Fusion Cuisine intensive participant

~~~~~
“Having been a professional chef on luxury yachts for the last eight years, I felt pretty comfortable preparing food for most cuisines and dietary restrictions, and thought this would be a fun way to get a few more recipes under my belt. This class was so much more, with a cloud sized dollop of inspiration on top! I learned so many helpful techniques and flavor combinations that I have already started creating recipes and writing my own vegan cookbook. I can not say enough about Mark’s kind and thorough teaching or my awesome classmates. Learning, laughing, eating, cooking, coming together and sharing – I’m tempted to do the class again, just for kicks!” – Nicole Poirier, Seattle Vegan Fusion Cuisine intensive student
~~~~~
“This has been such a transforming experience. The knowledge that I have gained and the people that I was able to share this time with – it has been such a blessing. It is truly amazing, the power of ten days. I feel excited. I feel inspired. I feel ALIVE. Thank you!” – Kelly Hollins, Seattle Vegan Fusion Cuisine intensive student

“I have never had a bland meal since I attended the training!! I am now willing to experiment and take risks in my own cooking ideas showing me that I have gained a lot of cooking confidence. I am also experiencing a true shift in health as I work closely with the new techniques and recipes. My family has now committed to eating vegetarian at least five times a week and we are now drinking one green smoothie a day. I notice that when we eat out I am also choosing vegetarian food as it is just becoming what my body wants. This is just the beginning of a long and beautiful relationship with vegan foods and flavor-filled cooking.” – Victoria Markham, Kaua’i Vegan Fusion Cuisine Intensive student ~~~~~
“Thank you so much for such an awesome, transformational, enriching, class! All the info is really beginning to set in and I am having so much fun with food and the kitchen! I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed and appreciated the course! The world of food and cooking has a whole new set of glasses to look through….I get the biggest joy out of creating something yummy and sharing it with my family.

“The Vegan Fusion training has provided the opportunity for me to better my health, the health of the environment, and to develop potential business opportunities. The course was so packed full of information, it’s given me a holistic base of training from which to approach food preparation.
