The plan is not just to help you incorporate more veg into your diet, but to build your confidence and expand your repertoire so that seasonal veg feature as the bedrock of your creative cooking. All the dishes are vegan, but they are designed to be equally tempting for vegetarians and omnivores too.

In his opening session on vegan starters, Hugh shows you how to combine raw or very simply cooked vegetables to create vibrant and visual openers to any meal.

You’ll learn exciting and inspiring ways to create vibrant vegan main courses and sharing platters for special menus and larger gatherings. The best seasonal veg are complemented with complex flavours from herbs, spices and original dressings.
