"Health and Vitality - The key to a zest for life! Too often 'enjoyment' and 'healthy eating' are thought to be mutually exclusive, but with a balanced vegetarian diet both can be combined. Now you can indulge yourself and still eat healthily!" Said author Lyn Weller, manager of The Cordon Vert Cookery School.
The Cordon Vert Cookery School is based at the headquarters of The Vegetarian Society, at Parkdale, a magnificent Victorian mansion set in Cheshire countryside. Having recently undergone modernisation the School now has the facilities to match its unrivalled reputation for excellent, imaginative and innovative vegetarian cuisine. Courses run throughout the year, catering for all abilities from the amateur through to the professional.
