Jack Middleton is a Red Seal Chef and a plant based educator. He attended chef school at George Brown College and has spent most of his career in French dining and Italian cuisine.

At the beginning of 2016 Jack went vegan and found out very quickly how savoury and delicious vegan food can be if you know what you’re doing. In 2017 Jack started The Empowered Vegan to help teach as many people as he can how to make vegan food easy and delicious.

Jack runs group classes, private classes and in-home one-on-one lessons. His classes have an emphasis on food flavour theory, knife skills and using interesting vegan ingredients to produce dishes that match their meat-based counterparts in satiety in flavour.

Whether you are a seasoned cook or a plant curious newbie, you will find Jack’s passion for plant based cooking contagious and inspiring.
