Ready to fall in love with healthy cooking?
Join me for an uplifting, hands-on experience where we create plant-based, gluten-free meals that nourish your body and brighten your mood.
These sessions are designed to help you:
Cook with confidence and ease
Learn simple, flavourful recipes for everyday life or special occasions
Feel energised, relaxed, and inspired in the kitchen
We start with a gentle body warm-up to shake off stress and connect with yourself — because cooking is more than following recipes, it’s a practice of self-care and presence.
You’ll receive a shopping list in advance, then we cook together step by step. I guide you through each part of the process, making it simple, joyful, and delicious.
Session length: around 2 hours (flexible by request)
Join solo or with a friend — share the experience and the cost

WHY EAT MORE PLANT FOODS?
I think every ‘body’ benefits when we eat more plant-based wholefoods.
The emotionally positive impact of eating more plant-based foods also on your system ripples into your environment.
I believe the planet is crying out for a reduction in the consumption of animals and their products.
When it comes to land use, livestock-related farming is the biggest contributor to climate change.
By reducing the consumption of animals or their products, the environment is greatly supported. Fact.
That doesn’t mean you have to become 100% vegan.
It’s more about moving towards a more plant-based diet.
If we all ate more plant-based food, the world would be a better place.
What People Are Saying
“Hi MC - thank you so much for the brilliant class you hosted. It wasn’t *just* a class, it was a celebration, and you really played a huge part in getting us into the same space (hard when it’s over Zoom, and people are in different countries) - but for those 2-3 hours, while we cooked, and then shared the same flavours and joy of discovery (yummy sour cream out of cashews - who knew!) really brought us together. You have a really great setup with the multiple camera angles - purpose built for chatting AND giving a birds eye view of proceedings. While a cookery class is a fun thing to do with a bunch of people when physically together - doing one over Zoom means people don’t even need to be in the same country! Thank you for your energy, passion, and good humour whilst herding and shepherding us towards the grand finale - which tasted absolutely amazing by the way!”

“I love Gala's cooking classes! I've done four of them now and keep coming back because they are the best fusion of taste, healthy conscious eating and light-hearted spirituality that I've found.
Something about Maria-Carin is very present in the whole experience; she's a really clear, pure and friendly human being and it radiates through her cooking.
On a practical level what she shares with you is brilliant because her recipes are very accessible and work very well when you get home with the copy she provides and give them a go yourself.
A bunch of her recipes are in my regular repertoire now and people love them!'“
