Welcome to The Natural Epicurean!

More than just a professional cooking school, we are deeply engaged in the local natural foods and macrobiotic communities. Globally, our students and teachers engage others across cultural boundaries.


The Very Best Thanksgiving Dinner

Come hungry - we cook and then feast.

This time each year we hold a special Thanksgiving Dinner class to demonstrate how to prepare an incredible macro feast that will please even the staunchest meat-eaters in your clan. From homemade stuffing to pumpkin pie and sweet potato casserole, you'll be amazed how good this healthy fare can be.

Saturday, November 22, 2008. Cooking class from 9 am - 12 noon followed by lunch from noon to 2 pm.


As a cooking school, we are ranked as one of the top 15 career and technical schools by Austin Business Journal. Our vegan and vegetarian cooking classes focus on healthy macrobiotic cuisine. Our community cooking classes reveal the simple, fun and gourmet sides of vegan culinary arts and macrobiotic cooking, and our Culinary Training Program was called one of the top "Cutting Edge Cuisine" culinary programs in the nation by Vegetarian Times in December 2000.

The Natural Epicurean has been highlighted by several media publications, including Austin Monthly, The Good Life, The Austin Chronicle, Vegetarian Times, Austin Business Journal, Girls Learn to Ride, Austin Sushi News, Enjoy Whole Health, and the television program A Taste of Texas.
