Discover the joy of meat-free meals as Marco takes vegetarian cooking to new heights and teaches his techniques for creating maximum flavour.
Designed for anyone who wants to reduce the amount of meat they eat without sacrificing flavour, Marco teaches how to turn vegetables into incredible show-stopping feasts.
Marco is one of Britain’s greatest chefs and was the youngest to be awarded three Michelin stars. He’s trained Gordon Ramsay, Heston Blumenthal, Jason Atherton, and inspired many more. Although as Marco says, in this course, ‘Mother Nature is the true artist’.
