Description

Veecoco is an online vegan cooking school offering over 800 lessons in vegan chef training. With chefs from across the globe, this incredible online resource provides a comprehensive set of courses for all levels of skill and interest.

We can’t believe there’s an online vegan cooking school!

As pioneers in providing vegan cooking classes since the 1970s (!) we were incredibly excited to discover Veecoco. We recommend this online vegan cooking school to anyone, from those looking to learn about the history of specific dishes, to those attempting to implement specialized techniques in their own unique creations.

The Veecoco platform offers a seven-day trial of all courses, with the option to upgrade to a premium membership for 39 USD per month. Using the code GENTLE will give our readers a 50% discount on their membership forever.

The Veecoco website is very clean and intuitive. They don’t simply drop 800 lessons at you randomly, which you would then have to navigate. Instead, they offer you a path, starting with a self assessment of your personal skill level. Then they customize each course so that you’re building skills as you learn.

At the end of each course in a specific cuisine, you can earn a certificate of completion: this is included in premium membership.

The videos are incredibly well-produced–on par with other online courses such as MasterClass in quality. The difference is that, in Veecoco’s case, it’s not simply an overview of a famous person in their craft, it’s a deep-dive into the historical significance of a culture and its food, along with an in-depth explanation about the ingredients being used and the purpose behind incorporating them.

Beyond Italian and French, you can also find courses in Korean, Japanese, and Vietnamese cuisines. Making Bulgogi with mushrooms and Pajeon with chickpeas are such small changes that are simple, yet effective, that one has to wonder why these aren’t included in a more mainstream approach.

Overall, it’s inspiring to see that the course embraces other cuisines beyond a traditional western repertoire, making these tutorials ideal for anyone looking to expand their knowledge of cooking.
