In our busy lives, food often becomes mere fuel, leaving us feeling empty and disconnected from our bodies. We can end up feeling run-down and unable to make an impact in the world. In our classes we offer an alternative approach to food that prioritises nourishment and connection.

We are delighted to introduce our “Heart in a Pot” class series. Join us in our welcoming kitchen where our wholefood teachers will inspire you to make delicious dishes that feed your body and heart and connect you to the Earth.
These dishes will take under an hour to make, in just one pot, with a few simple ingredients that you can adapt and customise at home. You will also learn the fundamentals of wholefood home cooking – the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of combining ingredients as well as methods and cooking styles. You can apply this knowledge beyond the recipes from the class.
“Heart in a Pot” is a series of 6 interactive classes, taking place on Monday evenings, 7 – 9 pm at Concord Institute in Finsbury Park. Numbers are limited to ensure full attention for all students.
The cost is £260 for the entire series of 6 classes, or £50 for a single drop-in session.
