Rouxbe vegan cooking course

 I spent the earlier part of this year doing an online professional plant based (vegan) cooking course with the Rouxbe school.  I honed my vegan cooking skills and learned a lot about health and food.  Some highlights:

Spiralised veg.  Purdy

Chocolate torte with a redcurrant coulis (berries
from the garden) and nusturtium flowers also
from the garden.  Yum!!
 

Fun with agar agar

cream cheese, marinaded mushrrooms and raw
