What our students
are saying.

My studies have been life changing, exciting, and unforgettable

“I have found the Natural Chef course to be all I hoped it would be and much more. I am amazed that not even half way through my course I am able to cook recipes to a high standard. I love the variation of different lecturer’s that we have. I love cooking in this team environment and get so excited by all the different food types we cook with. It’s been eye opening. I am so grateful for the support CNM offers and really enjoy the friendly, helpful learning environment.”

Susanne Noakes, CNM Natural Chef

My life and health have transformed since studying at CNM

“What I loved most about the course was learning how to combine different ingredients (ones you wouldn’t think would be compatible) to create amazing flavours. Designing meal plans for people with specific health conditions was one my favourite modules. I enjoyed the friendships in our class; there was a great mix of people.”

Michelle Asher, CNM Natural Chef

Enrolling at CNM was truly the best decision I’ve ever made

The theoretical and practical sides of the course were very in-depth. I loved the fact that we worked with different chefs with varying types of experience. This helped me to create my own unique chef style. I also really enjoyed the atmosphere at CNM and the contact with lecturers and staff. Following my passion for food and healthy eating has opened up so many opportunities and I’m excited about what the future holds – I’ve just opened the first vegan restaurant in Guadeloupe!”
