Vancouver, B.C. (January 9th, 2015)
Rouxbe Cooking School has partnered with Forks Over Knives to develop and deliver an online culinary instruction and lifestyle immersion program with a focus on low-fat, whole, plant-based foods.
Rouxbe is excited to announce that it has partnered with Forks Over Knives to create an immersive online cooking course that will help their customers and supporters become better, more informed, and more confident plant-based cooks. The learning experience will focus on the fundamental cooking and nutrition instruction needed to realize a low-fat, plant-based diet.
Forks Over Knives was launched in 2011 as a feature documentary. Backed by scientific research, the film presents a radical but convincing case that modern diseases can be prevented, halted, and often reversed by leaving animal-based and highly refined foods off the plate and adopting a whole-food, plant-based diet instead.
The film, which received rave reviews from medical experts and entertainment critics alike, has been viewed by millions of people around the world and has become one of the most influential documentaries of our time. Forks Over Knives has helped ignite a food-as-medicine revolution, as a growing number of people are learning more about the benefits of plant-based cooking.
“We are excited to partner with Rouxbe because they are the leader in online cooking instruction,” said Brian Wendel, president and founder of Forks Over Knives. “The first-class course we’re developing with Rouxbe will provide the self-guided learning pathway needed for people to create delicious, satisfying, and healthy plant-based meals on their own.”
The course curriculum will cover a variety of subject areas from how to properly cut with a knife, to preparing and cooking vegetables, tubers, whole grains, and legumes. The course focuses on teaching foundational plant-based cooking techniques that will drive better cooking results and will help more people make a successful transition to plant-based cooking.
Students will be able to move through the course at their own pace, accessing it from any device. After learning new techniques, students will be given practical (and edible) assignments and complete each learning module with an assessment quiz. There will even be live online question and answer sessions with Rouxbe and Forks Over Knives’ staff.
“For Rouxbe, Forks Over Knives is so powerful because it tells a story that the world desperately needs to hear. This film changed my life and I’m honored that we can help others begin to understand how and why our world is shifting towards eating more plants for better health—where forks DO rule,” says Joe Girard, Rouxbe Co-Founder & CEO.
Fork Over Knives and Rouxbe will begin pre-sales for the Forks Over Knives Online Course on February 1st for a March 1st 2015 release.
