The Vegetarian Society Cookery School is part of the Vegetarian Society, a charity which is here to help everyone with all things veggie and vegan. Did you know that when you buy a cookery class, you’re helping to fund a class for someone else? The money you spend helps to fund community classes for groups such as young carers, people who have experienced domestic abuse and those who have struggled with their mental health.

The Vegetarian Society is a charity passionate about veggie food and wants everyone to know how varied and delicious vegetarian dishes are. It’s easy to enjoy a veggie lifestyle – and it’s better for the planet.
