Most of The Green Chef workshops are run from Violetta’s home, a quiet converted Abbey, in Teignmouth. She teaches great new recipes and techniques that can be used at home to small groups. The workshops are designed to be fun and inspiring. Energising green smoothies, low fat, high protein nut and seed patés and milks, recipes free of gluten, yeast, egg and dairy, low glycaemic index (low GI) dishes, and low cholesterol dishes - including amazing cakes and desserts - are just a few topics featured in the workshops.

All workshops include the generous use of ingredients, plenty of tastings, breaks with delicious snacks and refreshments and a set of The Green Chef Workshop Notes and Recipes to take home.
