The Fearless in the Kitchen school is set on 4 acres in Warfield, near Windsor and Bracknell, with an orchard, herb and vegetable garden.
I pulled up outside the picture-postcard cottage, with its white picket-post fence, and anxiously knocked on the door, not knowing what to expect. But Jen instantly put me at ease, welcoming me into her lovely kitchen with a hug and a cup of coffee. I was introduced to the other eight people attending the course, and they all seemed friendly and eager to learn some cooking tips.
Jen was 100% vegan for 15 years, but she’s now plant-based, which means she occasionally eats dairy and meat but mostly plants. “My vegan period for 15 years was actually during the ’80s -’90s.... some of you may remember macrobiotic diets, pescatarians and what was then known as
‘non-dairy vegetarianism’ – there just wasn’t the vegan products around that there is now. I turned to a lot of Middle Eastern and South Asian cuisines (think Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese) for vegan food, and I recommend you get to know chickpeas, hummus, falafel, lentils, tahini, Za’atar, Dukkah, pomegranate molasses, miso and tofu.
