Plant Based Cookery Course

I thought for months, days and hours before taking this initiative. I know some people thinks this is a great idea, some people thinks this is presumptuous. Today has won the brave side! I need 600€ to take an online 100% plant based cooking course.

The Comida da Mãe (Mom's Food) project has been in existence since October 2017. Since that time I have been learning, at home, alone, cooking 100% plant based food with the aim of making it good for others and and sharing, far beyond my small family. I have tested recipes, conquered fans of my food, tried new things, some more successfully than others.

I have never had professional training in this area but I have read many cookbooks, I have always enjoyed cooking, since I remember enjoying eating, pleasure that only came up when I was 10-11 years, coincided with some autonomy and wanting to do my own lunch. And those who like to eat must know how to cook. Well accustomed to eating everything, I know flavors, I am critical, I appreciate food. Some trips I have made have also contributed to this. But to become more professional I need to have a guided learning that covers the most important aspects of a professional cookery course, plant based and without having to learn how to cut a chicken ...

Today it makes sense to take another small step along this path, and I found an online course from a reputed institution, PlantLab. The face-to-face courses in New York seem fantastic to me, but far from my reach. However there are the online courses. They cost around $ 1000 each. But this week (15July18) there was a promotion and the opportunity to benefit from a 50% discount, ie a course for $ 500.

And this is what I ask friends and acquaintances, a small contribution to add to my curriculum a specialized training in 100% vegetable cooking.

Being unemployed for a good while, after doing work in the Music Industry, Culture and Marketing, in addition to the Law course and unfinished Master in Culture Management (in the year in which the government of my country announces the end of the ministry of culture) with some interruptions and small projects in the middle, not wanting to adhere to the "established" and own my own course, free and able to draw my way of life, for having chosen to be a mother practically full time in the first years of my baby, I do not have funds or the ability to ask anyone else, but to those who really believe in me and know that this work that has already yielded its first fruits will bloom more and create a supporting structure for me and my daughter.

I ask for 600€ (another 100€)  to buy some extra equipment needed for this course, such as a food dehydrator (list of necessary equipment)

I'm not going to make promises, I'm not going to offer you dinners in your house for now, but who knows, this might be a reality? After all I will have to test the recipes and techniques that I will learn throughout this course ...

Many Thanks

About the author

Those who know and follow me know that motherhood has brought me much turbulence in the already turbulent life that I chose to lead.

It also brought me supreme joy and unconditional love. And it made me sure that all my paradigms and false expectations were changed, and that now there is no time for doubt or uncertainty.

Cooking is an act of love, of nourishment. Where there is room for creativity, so neglected my life ever since. Today I discovered a passion, a challenge: cooking with 100% vegetable products. Because when a human being was born in me, and I was looking at this crazy world around me, I quickly searched and looked for the best ways to nurture this child. What tools and teachings should you give this new being to fulfill its most basic need? Eating, yes, it's basic, it's necessary, but what? What do our food choices entail? Will she want to be conniving with animal exploration? And if it is not? What is my role? The responsibility is enormous, the theories are too many and often contradictory, but the mother's heart always knows what is best for her own.

Ana, the mother of a beautiful daughter. In search of a better future. Cooking without animal products because that's where the future goes.

Budget and due dates

I have already bought the course, to benefit from the 50% discount, with a credit card that I need to settle as quickly as possible to avoid interest and unbearable monthly instalments.
