This program is for you if...

You've been trying to make more vegan meals and need inspiration and support when thinking of easy vegan breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack ideas and recipes.
You've tried going vegan before but lacked the motivation, or found it difficult to sustain.
You’re curious about the benefits of going vegan, all the pros and cons to this way of eating and need a comprehensive “how to" guide.
You need help and support on how to start a vegan diet.
You've decided to become vegan or make more vegan choices but you're worried about nutrient requirements, what supplements you might need to take as a vegan (like the importance of vitamin B12) and how to build your new vegan meals.
You've been looking for a more balanced approach, one that isn't about restriction or deprivation but about reconnecting with your own body’s cues and needs, a full online course that will give you all the tools you'll need to make this transition to veganism easily, in one easy to access platform.

Who is this program not for?

This course is not for the vegan police or the food police.

We're all about a non-restrictive, zero judgement approach where we respect the journey each person wants to go through. We're all about inclusivity and respect for each other no matter how we eat right now.

This course is also not for you if you don't have access to a kitchen or an internet connection.

What you'll need

Online Vegan Cooking Classes and Courses: The Roadmap, the Ultimate Guide on How to Start a Vegan Diet

You'll need an internet connection, and a device with access to it. Our course can be enjoyed through your computer, phone, or tablet.

You’ll also need access to a kitchen and all your basic kitchen tools. If at any point a video showcases a piece of equipment you don’t currently have in your kitchen, I’ll be right there to give you alternatives and you’ll of course have countless other videos to choose from.

So Who are We Anyway?

Melanie

★★★★★

“I want to say how incredibly impressed I am with this course and it's thoroughness so far- and it looks like I have been barely even scratched the surface! You clearly put so much love, attention and detail into this astounding amount of content, it is truly mind blowing and I can't thank you enough.”

María

★★★★★

“I have read and completed other courses on veganism but none is so complete as this one if you want to get into all the aspects of a vegan lifestyle. It not only covers food but also ethical and environmental aspects behind this choice, vegan diets for different age groups and conditions, animal abuse, the cosmetic industry, etc. Kim is the perfect communicator. She is honest, considerate, engaging, and very passionate about everything. I could be listening to her for hours and never get tired because she has that special thing that makes her instantly connect with her listeners/ readers. Some of the aspects she deals with, especially the way animals are treated and the not-so-known working conditions of workers in the meat industry, are very sensitive matters and she talks about them in a very tactful, respectful way. I appreciate her for that. Thank you Kim and Carlos for putting this amazing course together. The vegan world has just gotten richer with your wonderful resource!”

“What a magical place! And "The Roadmap" is a gem! I love every bit so far! Thank you, Kim and Carlos, for putting it together.”

★★★★★

“This really is a fabulous program that covers the most up-to-date information and options available to a new (but overwhelmed-at-times) vegan. Thank-you once again, Kim and Dr Carlos, for sharing your wealth of knowledge on each and every subject in this Brownble Roadmap. This really is the one of the best online programs, if not the very best program for learning about veganism and how to become a healthy, happy vegan.”

DM

★★★★★

“This is everything. I cannot possibly come up with the words to express how this course, and this module in particular, helped me find myself. I’ve battled being the odd one out for most of my life and struggled with my relationship with food for many many years. I would go vegan for periods of time because it felt right for me, but being such a perfectionist, any little setback or mistake became a total derailment and made me feel like a failure of a vegan. But now, after experiencing this and hearing all of the kind and encouraging words, as well as utilizing the additional resources mentioned, I truly feel the confidence you mentioned. I feel like I am one with myself now and not just living day by day in a shell of who I really am. I feel complete and I feel grateful. My heart is full and my soul is happy!! From the bottom of my heart, thank you!”

“This course has taken me on an amazing journey. I became Vegan 3 months ago and made the decision based on health as well as environmental issues. Your course has given me a completely new global picture on many issues I was not aware of; such as how bad we treated the animals we eat, the utter importance of not using Veganism as yet another diet, or obsession about purity. The wealth of resources that you put at disposal has enabled me to learn in so many areas and take my vegan journey to a new dimension that includes after 20 years of dieting. working on intuitive eating as well as mindfulness. I feel very fortunate to enter the vegan community through this introductory workshop because I feel I won't be judged for missteps; I am not alone; I can listen to your podcasts and I am part of a momentum that is growing every day to make this world a better place. So well done, thank you for sharing your story and keep up supporting all the new vegans!"

The Roadmap: Going Vegan for Beginners, an Online Course to Help you Get Started with a Vegan Diet

Why join a course like The Roadmap

“Any big change such as going vegan requires motivation and support, but above all that, going vegan is a big step that often comes with roadblocks, moments in which you weren’t able to do it perfectly, countless questions and opinions from friends and family, it can be a challenge to go through this on your own.

What I’ve seen happen time and time again is that even when we are so motivated to go on this journey, we take any stumbles as failures, any difficulties as signs that we aren’t doing it right. This course will help you not only learn everything you need to know when going vegan safely and deliciously, but it will teach you how the road can be filled with self compassion, how you can use this journey to learn so much about yourself, how you can make a change for yourself, the animals and the planet in a way that includes all the intricacies and nuance that make you you, how no two journeys are the same and how you can forge your own path so that these changes can accompany you for life.”

"I have learned so much from you! I appreciate that you are not the usual vegan preacher but rather a very genuine, down-to-earth mentor. One that knows how difficult it may be to start a vegan lifestyle, a person that anyone can relate to because you too have struggled with food and with society's stereotypes."

Annie

★★★★★

"The new roadmap looks absolutely beautiful, Kim!! All the time & effort that you & Carlos put into this is really apparent in the first few videos that I've seen so far. I can only imagine the work that this took, from all script/topic preparation to the things that had to be packed & taken along with you to do the filming!! Your beautiful season-appropriate outfits for each class, the beautiful, tranquil settings in that quaint little town of 12!, your beautiful puppies in the background!! I love it all!!!"

Vandana

★★★★★

"Dear Kim, when you talk about food, the aura of the environment around you is so divine that I really forget what I am watching. I really admire your caliber of doing various projects with that high level of precision and I love your passion for your work. Focusing on many things creates complexity and it actually calls for unshakable dedication to the cause and you have tons of potential for work"
