Comments about David's cooking classes:


"Great class! Great instructor! Great cake (& grains & beans :) too). I learned a lot and more importantly, I was inspired to put my new knowledge to use. David makes going vegan fun!" (J.M., Seattle, Washington)

"This is my second class taught by David. I loved it just like the 'Cooking with Greens'. Wonderful instructor. Cannot wait to take his next classes." (C.B.)

"Entertaining AND delicious!.…like dinner theater." (M.W., Portland)

"We like your cooking approach: simple and quick to prepare, using whole foods, and maximizing nutritional value. Oh yeah, and your recipes taste great, too." (A.G.)

"This has been a great learning experience. I finally broke down and purchased ...... blender to make soups and grind oats into flour, and that thing is amazing. I think I have made your Orange Bean Cake about 5 times already....." (A.P., Portland)

"This course has encouraged me to try more recipes that are gluten-free and vegan. My son, who has celiac disease, will be so happy!" (C.C.)

"…This class will help me to improve my diet and my life." (M.N.)

"This course was fabulous. I can’t wait to go home and start cooking. I can’t wait for…to take Mr. Gabbe’s next two classes!" (N.N. )

"I love Gabbe’s classes!" (C.S.)

"You are doing great work!! You are so inspiring!" (L.B., Irvine, California)

"Very enjoyable learning experience. The topper was being able to taste-test all the scrumptious foods prepared!" (C.P., Puyallup, Washington)

"The class was WONDERFUL! Thx much." (A.N.)

"David was very knowledgeable and able to answer an array of questions. He is very funny and is easy to understand and follow. I took this class for the gluten and non-egg approach for my allergies, but he makes it look so easy to go vegan. I’m very inspired." (Puyallup, Washington)

"I took a cooking class with David at the beginning of this year, and was completely blown away by how simultaneously healthy, simple, delicious, and inventive his recipes were. Unlike so many vegan adaptations of non-vegan foods, David never resorts to cheap attempts to imitate (which often sacrifice taste, nutritional value, or both), instead forging ahead with genuinely innovative recipes that always end up both delicious and incredibly healthy. Where other vegan recipes are often pale imitations of their non-vegan counterparts, these recipes stand on their own feet, and are as a result much more tasty than many vegan dishes of comparable health value." (M.T., Portland, Oregon)
