Natural Gourmet Institute

The Natural Gourmet Institute for Health and Culinary Arts is a vegetarian cooking school in Manhattan, New York. It was founded in the 1977 by Anne Marie Colbin, a long-time activist about overly-refined food and its connection to poor health, and author of Food and Health and other books. The chef's training institute combines effective cooking techniques from a variety of vegetarian cuisines around the world, with emphasis on having the food be whole, fresh, traditional, balanced, local, seasonal and delicious.

In early 2019, the Natural Gourmet was subsumed by the Institute of Culinary Education
