Natural Cookery School, Nailsworth
Why did we stop seeing plants as the heroes of our plates? It’s easy to blame the rise of industrial meat production, which pushed vegetables to the sidelines. But now, Natural Cookery School is changing the game. Their vegan supper club isn’t about compromise, it’s about showcasing how plant-based cooking can be bold, vibrant, and utterly satisfying. Through thoughtfully prepared dishes, they’re proving that plant-based meals don’t need to be an afterthought. Instead, they’re the main event: flavor-packed, nourishing, and designed to inspire a more balanced, less binary approach to food.
