Evason Hua Hin resort in Pranburi, Thailand is joining forces with vegan chef Matthew Kenney to open Asia’s first-ever plant-based culinary academy.

The new culinary academy offers month-long courses, as well as weekday and weekend workshops which will be introduced later in the year. The curriculum is based on the use of whole, organic, unprocessed plant-based foods to help “achieve healthy, aesthetically refined and flavorful cuisine”, while focusing on the fundamentals of raw cuisine. Students will undergo comprehensive training in the principles in the art of raw food, as well as cooked plant-based cuisine classes that will help them develop a modern, creative approach to preparing nutritious foods.

The students will be taught in an intimate class structure with personalized instruction, which will also allow them to have hands-on experiences within a custom designed, commercial living foods kitchen.

Recently the resort underwent a major renovation, including refurbishing all 196 guest rooms, suites and pool villas. The resort also complements Matthew Kenney’s approach with holistic living, thanks to its spa services, including yoga classes.

Added bonus? As part of the enrollment package, all students are provided with accommodations at the resort.

Sounds like a program we can definitely get behind.
