Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I find your recipes?

Depends which ones. Cheese recipes live in the Cheese-Making Course, though a few best sellers made it into The Mindful Kitchen Map cookbook too. Some are in the Meal Plan Bundle, some in the Cookbook, and a good selection is in the Free Catalogue. Not sure where to start? Ask the chat.

What's in the Meal Plan Bundle?

Four weeks of meals. 40+ Exclusive Recipes. A week-by-week shopping list. And a free complete vegan nutrition course bundled in with a bonus e-book from Tomaso's first restaurant. It's structured so you don't have to think!— just cook.

Do I need to be a chef to take the Cheese-Making Course?

No. Most people who take it aren't. The course is built from the ground up, basics, fermentation science, techniques, the full process. What you need is curiosity and the willingness to practice. The skill does the rest.

Do you do live events?

Yes. A limited number each year, from workshops, lectures, and residencies. Upcoming dates are on the Live Events page. To bring Tomaso to your event or institution, use the Speaking Request on the Media section

Who is the right fit to work with m3?

Food businesses, chefs, restaurants, and institutions who want to add credible expertise — brand development and product innovation, from idealisation to commercialisation. See the Work With Me page.

Also opened to the right people or businesses who want to build what Tomaso has built: an audience, and a system to turn real skill into income, without selling out. A limited number of projects per year. [Apply here]
