“I give the 4-Week Vegan Chef Challenge a 5-star rating, hands down. It was seriously a life-changing experience! Chef Mark's approach to teaching whole-food plant-based living is totally one-of-a-kind and super valuable. If you're looking for a comprehensive and accepting course on plant-based cuisine, I highly recommend this program. You'll not only learn how to make delicious and healthy meals, but also gain a greater appreciation for the impact your food choices have on your health and the world around us. Chef Mark is amazing! He's got so much passion and knowledge about what he does, and it really comes through in his teaching. The course materials were fantastic and gave us everything we needed to learn about a whole-food plant-based lifestyle. And the food, oh man, it was delicious! I'm not exactly a whiz in the kitchen, but the recipes were super easy to follow and the results were just incredible. Even my non-vegan friends and family loved the meals. They couldn't even tell that I didn't use any animal products! Thank you so much to Chef Mark and the Vegan Fusion Institute for offering such an incredible course. I feel empowered to make better choices for myself and my family, and I'm excited to keep this journey going.” T.S. - 4-Week Vegan Chef Challenge Participant

“The 4-week Vegan Chef Challenge far exceeded my expectations! Going into the program I had an appreciation and motivation for eating a plant-based diet. At the conclusion of the program I was inspired to create delicious, satisfying dishes that will convince others of what I already knew about this diet. I gained confidence in the kitchen through using new tools and techniques (and refining some techniques I didn't have quite right), as well as by learning how to create my own recipes. The small class size was key to my success. With the virtual platform the small class size allowed for Chef Mark to extend individual attention while keeping the entire class moving forward. On a personal note, Chef Mark was patient, encouraging, and added a touch of humor to every class. He also invited feedback real-time, and where possible he took measures to incorporate the feedback as soon as the next class. Finally, I was grateful for the 1:1 sessions where Chef Mark talked with me about my ambitions for leveraging my enhanced culinary skill set. He is intent on his students succeeding, which is truly icing on the vegan cake! I am excited to build on all that I learned in this incredibly valuable program!”

"I love to cook and enjoy being creative in the kitchen. Food and nutrition are also the main components of my profession. As a newly registered dietitian, the 4-Week Vegan Cooking Challenge with Chef Reinfeld was one of the best investments I could have made starting my new journey. Mark was very thorough, patient, and kind in his teaching. He created a comfortable and relaxing learning environment which I greatly appreciated. Each day was an adventure that consisted of learning something new and eating flavorful and culturally diverse dishes from the comfort of my own kitchen. I learned so many different flavor profiles and helpful techniques that I have already begun to incorporate into my meals. The guest speaker and guest culinary instructors were also incredible. This was a very inspirational and exciting experience that helped to increase my confidence with cooking vegan meals and expand on my kitchen skills. The information I learned and the skills I attained are invaluable and will help me to better serve my future patients through culinary medicine. I highly recommend this training and look forward to taking more of Chef Mark's courses in the future. It was truly an honor and privilege to work with an award-winning and legendary Chef! Thanks again Chef Reinfeld!"  F.Z.,MPH, RDN - 4-Week Vegan Chef Challenge Participant

“You wish all the online courses you took during the pandemic were as good as this! Mark's vegan cooking challenge is a month-long concentration of 30 years of experience and passion for plant-based food and lifestyle. It's also a conversation around culture, ethics, and history where high-qualified teachers and students bring their knowledge into the pot to benefit all! Whether you're building towards a professional culinary path or personal growth, this course is worth every penny!” O.H. - 4-Week Vegan Chef Challenge Participant

“Chef Mark has a heart of gold and an endless patience, always rescuing our Julia Child moments, cracking jokes and offering an epic experience diving deep into the encyclopedic world of plant-based cooking. From making your own Kim chi and beet kvas, to rolling your fettuccini, from ethnic favorites to veganizing staples to help people transition from meat-based diet. Buckle up as it will be a wild ride! It is so much fun and you will learn a LOT!!!” K.K. - 4-Week Vegan Chef Challenge Participant

“I cannot put a value on this training. It has and will touch and change every part of my life for the better. I have learned skills I can use cooking for my family of six or in a work environment. I have developed ideas for business and enriched my love of humanity, the environment and myself!” B.R. - 10-Day Vegan Fusion Workshop Participant
