• Understanding flavours and learning how to subtly balance or adjust them
• Discovering the singular umami flavour, its importance and how to achieve it in your dishes
• Learning technical cooking methods such as braising, poaching and emulsification
• Improving your presentation skills so you know how to plate a dish and create a harmony of colours, shapes and textures
• Delicious organic lunch and recipes to take home

Anton is a professional chef with over ten years’ experience working in a variety of acclaimed restaurants including ‘Acorn Vegetarian Kitchen’, ‘Demuths’, ‘The Gate’, and ‘Tibits’, as well as the prestigious Michelin-Guide recommended ‘Vanilla Black’. Inspired by locally grown seasonal produce (and a committed all year round forager), Anton is deeply passionate about sharing the delights of plant based ethical cooking which, as he puts it, ‘nourishes our bodies, minds and spirits and brings a positive change to the world.’ Anton now runs his own plant based gourmet private event /catering company, as well as teaching cookery at Made In Hackney and Demuths Cookery School.
