Over the course of a half-day session for four people, you’ll prepare a plant-based recipe and receive the chef’s tips and advice on substituting animal-derived ingredients. In addition to this session, Rodolphe Lendemaine offers a half-day exclusive tour of the Domaine du Costile: a 200-hectare nature reserve where rewilding is practiced.

They then became vegans… From the final auction price of this lot, €300 will be deducted to determine the amount eligible for a tax deduction. https://www.land-and-monkeys.com/manifesto/
