Let’s be real—plant-based eating sounds simple until you’re staring into the fridge wondering how to make a meal that’s satisfying and nourishing. In this hands-on class, you will turn humble plant-based ingredients into flavour-packed, protein-rich meals—with tofu prepared 5 different ways.
Your instructor Sonya will share her commercial kitchen experience, showing you practical techniques for cooking and batch-prepping plant-based meals that come together with just 5–15 minutes of active cooking time.
Drawing from her Master's degree in Public Health Nutrition, Sonya will cut through the nutrition noise and explain what really matters when eating more plant-based: getting enough protein, choosing a variety of plant foods, using healthy fats, and building balanced meals—without the diet-culture dogma.

  • Veggie sticks with spicy tofu satay dip
  • Wombok san choy bao with tofu, quinoa & satay dressing
  • Tofu, mushroom and wombok stir-fry with tofu skin noodles
  • Silken tofu and quinoa chocolate porridge
You’ll learn:
  • Five different ways to prepare and enjoy tofu
  • How to build satisfying, protein-rich plant-based meals
  • Practical ways to use different plant proteins
  • Smart, flexible batch-prepping strategies for faster weekday cooking
  • Commercial kitchen techniques and tricks to streamline your cooking.

I’m a Public Health Nutritionist, cooking instructor, and lifelong learner who believes food is more than fuel!
My relationship with food began in Bulgaria, growing up as a fussy eater, disliking most home-cooked food. But everything changed in my early 20s, after going through a health scare. The experience sparked a deep interest in preventative health and led me to study Public Health Nutrition in Denmark. During this time, I taught myself to cook, bake, and ferment.
While writing my Master’s thesis, I moved to Melbourne and fell headfirst into its vibrant food scene. The diversity of ingredients, flavours, and cuisines was transformative. I discovered a passion for teaching while managing the production kitchen at SisterWorks. There, I led healthy cooking classes for women from around the world and saw firsthand how food could be a bridge: building confidence, sharing culture, and creating community. Since then, I’ve run community workshops, worked in commercial kitchens, and continued to explore how food can nourish both people and planet.
My teaching style is grounded in simplicity, sustainability, and joy. I share practical nutrition tips, tricks from professional kitchens, and celebrate seasonal, local produce with minimal waste.
Whether I’m leading a class or chatting over a shared meal, I love that moment when something clicks — when someone realises that healthy, delicious food doesn’t have to be complicated.
