Learn the Basics of Plant-Based Cooking

Once we're convinced that plant-based is the best path to optimal health, we're faced with a new question: How can I cook this way? Our good friends at Forks Over Knives can help. Starting January 5, 2016, they offer an online class that starts with the basics and works up to over 100 whole-food, plant-based, no-added-oil recipes that will keep you on the delicious path of plant-based health. Over the course of three months, Forks Over Knives presents a nine-unit cooking course led by world-renowned chefs and educators Chad Sarno and Ken Rubin.

The online nature of the course allows you to study at your own pace, plus it offers interactive quizzes and instructor-graded activities to provide personalized feedback. This class allows you to earn credits from the American Culinary Federation Education Foundation while developing your ability to cook with "plant-based foods and flavor principles from around the world."
