I chose CNM because of their recognition
I heard lots of great things about the course and this particular Natural Chef diploma really stood out to me. I was very happy with the course; the way it was structured and the great lecturers.
I’ve always loved food, even from a young age. I grew up in France where cooking involved using lots of butter and sugar. My interest in healthy food came when I was pregnant with my first son. During my pregnancy, I started to research more and wanted to cook healthier food.

I’ve been able to turn my passion into a business
After years of suffering with chronic eczema, to the point where my skin felt severely burnt, I managed to gain control of my skin condition by changing my diet and eating healthy food. This inspired me to help others and become a natural chef.
On the course, I learnt everything from cooking food and making juices and smoothies to preparing raw dishes, sprouting, fermenting and baking – all with a healthy and therapeutic focus.

The course was everything I hoped it would be
CNM’s Natural Chef course is the ideal balance of nutritional information and practical food skills. The classes are educational, practical and fun; it made the process of learning as an adult very enjoyable.
I wanted to combine my love for yoga with my passion for vegan food so I qualified as a Natural Chef. I was looking for a course that would give me a vegan food qualification and also teach me more about nutrition – CNM’s Natural Chef course was the perfect mix.
