The Evason Hua Hin wellness resort in Pranburi, Thailand has opened a culinary academy in partnership with American integrated lifestyle brand Matthew Kenney Cuisine, which focuses on living foods and the art of raw food preparation.
The resort said it complements the Matthew Kenney Culinary approach to holistic living with its
Six Senses Spa featuring wellness programmes including Discover Yoga, Yogic Detox and Yogic Sleep.
The new academic facility is surrounded by 20 acres of tropical gardens, lotus ponds, and access to plant-based produce.
Built upon founder Matthew Kenney’s culinary training in plant-based raw foods cuisine, the new culinary academy offers month-long courses, as well as weekday and weekend workshops, to be introduced later in the year.
The curriculum is centred on the use of whole, organic, unprocessed plant-based foods to achieve healthy, aesthetically refined and flavourful cuisine. Core programming focuses on the “Fundamentals of Raw Cuisine” and offer students comprehensive training in the principles in the art of raw food, as well as cooked plant-based cuisine classes that further the modern, creative approach to preparing nutritious foods.
All programmes are structured to provide students heightened new techniques, enabling them to execute and innovate raw and cooked plant-based cuisine. As part of an exclusive enrolment package, students are provided with accommodation at the resort.
Evason Hua Hin recently refurbished all of its 196 guest rooms, suites and pool villas.
