Comments about David’s cooking classes:

“I really appreciate David Gabbe's simple recipes. For those of us with busy lives, his suggestions and tips make it simple to follow a healthy, whole foods (and really good!) diet. For anyone that lives near where he teaches classes, I recommend them. I've taken several classes from Mr. Gabbe and all were fun and highly informative.” (R, Portland, Oregon)

“My husband used to eat cheddar cheese, but would wake up in the morning with a headache--now he eats David's cheddar ‘cheese’ melt almost every day and he feels great.” (R.R.., Corvallis, Oregon)

“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)
