    Chef Ron is at the top of his game, while also being enormously friendly and approachable. The info he gives is invaluable. I attended this vegan cheese course twice, because I lost the notes from the first one -- and I learned just as much the second time I took it.

Virtual Healthy Cooking Classes 

Both online healthy cooking classes and the in-person version offer their own advantages and drawbacks. Online classes provide the convenience of learning from any location, and are often more flexible and accessible to fit around busy schedules. They also offer a variety of instructors from around the world. However, they may not provide as much personalized attention or hands-on experience, and students may have limitations in terms of equipment and ingredients available.

On the other hand, in-person healthy cooking classes offer an immersive and interactive learning experience. Students can work closely with the instructor, receive immediate feedback, and have the opportunity to ask questions in real-time. Additionally, they can access professional-grade equipment and a wider range of ingredients for a more authentic and high-quality cooking experience. However, attending in-person classes may require more time and effort, and may not be as accessible for individuals with mobility or transportation limitations.
