Those who follow a vegan diet enjoy a healthy plant-based diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains. Aspiring vegan chefs often face a dilemma when considering a culinary education, as most institutions focus on cooking that relies heavily on animal products and may not offer courses in vegan cooking. Although vegan culinary institutions are not located in every state, there are several schools in the nation that offer quality programs.

The Natural Gourmet Institute offers both part-time and full-time chef's training programs that focus mostly on plant-based cooking with some instruction on preparing organic chicken, eggs, and seafood dishes.

Located in Manhattan, the school is set in a 4,800-square-foot space complete and has teaching and professional kitchens that are equipped with quality restaurant equipment.
