PlantInspired

PlantInspired We offer interactive plant-based cooking classes that help people make the most out of vegetables for a healthier and tastier lifestyle.

Profits from these classes are utilised to teach plant-based cooking to vulnerable members of our communities At PlantInspired, we believe in the power of plant-based cooking to transform lives. Our mission is to empower people and create a kinder, healthier, more sustainable future. In partnership with the Planetary Health Initiative, in the heart of the Blue Mountains, we offer interactive plant

-based cooking classes for individual clients, private groups and businesses. Join us and have fun learning how to use vegetables to create delicious meals that are good for you and the entire planet. Choose from our range of preset classes or get in touch to tailor the event to your preferences. Inspired by the social enterprise model, we utilise our profits to offer free-of-charge cooking classes to vulnerable members of our communities. Every paid class we organise is essentially a fundraiser. The cost-of-living crisis has impacted everyone but certain populations remain particularly at risk. For many, lack of practice or confidence in their own cooking skills exacerbates the problem further, leaving them at the mercy of ready-made and restaurant meals, which are not only expensive but are often also unhealthy. We work with relevant organisations across the Blue Mountains and Lithgow areas to ensure that support goes to those who need it most. If you’d like to donate directly to the CSC program, you can do so via the Planetary Health Initiative. Donations over $2 re tax deductible.
