Master in Plant-Based Culinary Arts & Food Operations (MPBCAFO030)
Master in Plant-Based Culinary Arts & Food Operations (MPBCAFO030) at LSTH
The plant-based field has moved past novelty. Hotel chains, restaurant groups, contract caterers and consumer brands are now building plant-led strategies — menus, supply chains, sustainability commitments — and they need senior people who can lead that work. The Master in Plant-Based Culinary Arts & Food Operations (MPBCAFO030) is built for exactly that level of role.
This postgraduate programme combines two threads: deep plant-based culinary work, and the food operations discipline needed to execute it at scale. You'll engage with menu development, sustainable sourcing, kitchen and supplier systems, plant protein technologies at an awareness level, and the strategic decisions behind plant-led offers.
Why a Postgraduate Plant-Based Programme Matters
