THE COURSE
The diploma can be completed in just a few months, so you will be cooking with confidence in no time!
My courses are different to most online courses because of one very important thing - COMMUNITY!!!!
We may be far apart but we can still create a beautiful vegan foodie community. This strengthens our resolve to cook more vegan food from scratch every day. We can inspire and support each other as we travel our learning journey.
This course is not one that you do in isolation. Students share their food pictures in our study group and chat about anything and everything to do with vegan food.
We stay in regular contact so that everyone can chat about how they are getting on with the course. This also helps my students to keep motivated so that they finish the course and get their diploma!
This course is for you if you want -
fun, easy recipes
to be a better home cook
support throughout your course
tried and tested reliable recipes
to gain a qualification
to be part of a community of vegan cooks and chefs
to spend less time cooking from scratch and more time eating!
more confidence in the kitchen
to cook more vegan food but you don't know where to start
ALL RECIPES WITHIN THIS COURSE ARE GIVEN AS BOTH GLUTEN-FREE AND WITH GLUTEN
The recipes are simple but effective, perfect for the home cook. I don’t only give you a collection of recipes, we give you the knowledge of why and how these recipes work. Understanding food at this fundamental level gives you the foundation needed to become a creative cook.
The course is structured in a way that guides you through vegan cuisine by making my tasty recipes. All of the work you do to qualify for the diploma is hands-on with some reflection on how your recipes went. There is very little written work for you to do but a lot of cooking and a lot of eating!
The key recipes are taught to you by pre-recorded video and written recipe. The course can be completed at your own speed. You can pick it up and put it down as and when suits you and your other time commitments.
The course is separated into 7 sections. In each section you will find a guide to ingredients, techniques and equipment used within that specific section. For each key recipe I give you information on troubleshooting, tips for recipe success and highlight every technique you have used.

You will need to complete all 5 key recipes from each section, documenting them and reflecting on them, to qualify for your diploma. Your work should be emailed through to us as proof of completing the work. We are on hand to give you guidance throughout the course, should you need it. You will also be given access to our private Facebook study group, where you can share your recipe pictures and also find support.
In each section we also give you 10 exclusive written recipes. You do not have to complete these recipes to qualify for the diploma. These are for you to use, if you wish to. Together with the key recipes this amounts to a massive 105 recipes you can learn through this course. All recipes can be printed out by you at home.
Every student has a chance to get personal guidance and one-to-one tuition. We see you as an individual and the class as a team.
Dates and time: This course is available for you to start whenever is convenient for you.
The course can be completed in as little as 3 months or as long as 12 months. We recommend that students aim to complete the course in 6 months.
Students will be given access to the course which is in the form of video and written content to work through at their own pace. We have students living in different time zones therefore we are unable to do ‘live’ classes.
If you complete the course within 3 months the weekly time commitment will be 1 whole day per week (9 hours). You will also have to factor in time for buying ingredients (this will vary depending on the accessibility of ingredients). You can, as mentioned, take longer to complete the course, a maximum of 12 months. If you take the full 12 months to complete the course the weekly time commitment will be an average of 2 hours per week plus shopping time.
All course purchases give you access to the course for one year. A subsequent year extension is available with a fee of 30% of the course price.
In this course you will learn a huge variety of recipes such as -

WHAT MY GRADUATES SAY
“The Vegan Chef School was just what I needed to show me the way into the blossoming industry of vegan food. It helped me to turn my passion and skills into a career. It connected me with driven, creative and like-minded budding chefs. And most importantly it gave me confidence that I could make it in a professional environment.”
“I loved my time learning at The Vegan Chef School and feel so much more confident since graduating. Every week was exciting and different. The teacher I had is extremely skilled and knowledgeable. I felt we covered so much ground and so many forms of vegan cooking over the duration of the course and I also felt extremely supported by all of the fantastic staff. I still use the recipes we were taught regularly and feel much more able to experiment with baking and pasta making. I couldn’t recommend the school enough to anyone looking to become a vegan chef or home cook.”
“Chef Day is breaking new ground in the world of vegan, gluten-free fine dining. Taking this course has changed the trajectory of my life, from scientist-entrepreneur to enthusiastic vegan chef! From homemade ravioli and pizza to fermenting and fine pastries, the Vegan Chef School recipes and lessons completely blew my mind. You and your family will love it!”
“The School is extremely welcoming and works hard to provide the best possible training. The course will challenge you to learn, and push beyond your current ability, with professional support every step of the way.”
“This course was seriously one of the best things I’ve ever done. It was the highlight of my week learning from Chef Day and cheffing alongside people who quickly turned into my friends. More than a year later, I’m still using the techniques Chef Day taught us. Wish I could do it all over again!!”
“Studying at The Vegan Chef school gave me the confidence to go from a passionate home cook to currently working in a professional kitchen. The course empowered me and elevated my techniques in a safe space of mindfulness and community.
I hope to one day start a business of my own and with the training I received I now feel like I have the know how to develop my skills further on my journey and have a deeper understanding of how to run a vegan food business.
I was also grateful to receive industry insight and advice from Chef Day and the other mentors to learn more about what the future of plant based food looks like - and it’s an exciting one.”
“Chef Day Radley is the most influential person I have ever met for my career, her teaching has helped me launch my own vegan company and without her amazing school I wouldn’t have progressed this much as a chef. The Vegan Chef School is where I mastered my trade and I have Chef Day to thank for that and I owe her so much for all her help and development.”
