Become a certified raw vegan chef — from anywhere in the world.
The only raw vegan chef certification born inside a working Balinese temple kitchen — a real restaurant, a real 14-day academy, a real lineage — now self-paced, so you can study from any kitchen on earth.
Founding 100 — the first 100 from the waitlist lock lifetime pricing and bonus access.
Four things no online course can copy
Anyone can teach raw food. No one else can teach it from here.
Born in Bali
Trained from a temple kitchen in Ubud — not a studio, not a home kitchen. The place is the proof, and it cannot be faked.
Restaurant-tested
Every recipe you learn is a live Raw Temple menu item, served and refined nightly. You graduate able to run the kitchen from your own home.
A real academy behind it
The same certification framework as our 14-day in-person immersion — same chef, same recipes, same standard. Online is Step 1 of the same path.
Spiritual depth
A Balinese point of view on food as ritual — the part of raw cooking that turns a cook into a chef with something to say.
Nine modules. 82 lessons. ~32 hours.
Engineered backward from the Raw Temple menu — you ship something edible by the end of Module 1 and plate restaurant-grade dishes by Module 6.
Foundations & The Raw Temple Kitchen
Set up a functional raw kitchen, master knife skills, soaking, sprouting and dehydrating — then plate Chef Rani's signature on day one.
The Backbone: Sauces, Cheeses, Ferments & Plant Milks
Build the flavor backbone that powers 70% of the menu — without this module, nothing downstream works.
Breads, Crackers, Wraps & The Dehydrator
Master the dehydrator as a low-temperature oven and produce the bread and cracker line behind every breakfast and starter.
Breakfast & Smoothie Bowls
Run the Raw Temple morning service — the full all-day breakfast line plus all five live smoothie bowls.
Salads, Soups & Bowls
The lunchtime backbone of the menu — plating, soup-craft and dressing balance across salads and all five raw soups.
Pizza, Pasta & World Mains
The most demanding module — the full Pizza & Pasta category plus the global mains, including the centerpiece Italian Lasagna.
The Bali / Indonesian Module
The uncopyable heart of the program — young coconut, kaffir lime, galangal, candlenut, and the Balinese bumbu adapted raw. No competitor can ship this.
Desserts, Pâtisserie & Sweets
Build the full dessert case — cakes that rival cooked pastry, natural coloring systems, ice creams, truffles and bliss balls.
Service, Menu Design & The Raw Chef Career
Move from cook to chef — design and cost a menu, run a tasting service, and turn the certification into income.
Every recipe taught is a live Raw Temple menu item — the moat made operational.
Chef Rani
Head Chef · The Raw Temple AcademyChef Rani leads the kitchen at The Raw Temple in Ubud and teaches the in-person Academy. The recipes in this certification are hers — the same dishes plated nightly at the restaurant, taught in the same kitchen where they were created.
She teaches every demo in this program. What you learn is not generic raw food from a textbook; it is a working chef’s point of view, built over years of real service in Bali.
A certification that actually means something
Self-paced, but never soft. Becoming a Raw Temple Certified Chef takes real work — reviewed by a real chef.
Module assignments
Pass all eight graded module assignments on a pass/fail rubric — one resubmission allowed per module.
Knowledge exam
A 50-question online exam on food safety, technique and ingredients. 80% to pass.
Capstone portfolio
An original five-dish tasting menu with plated photos, written recipes, and a 5-minute cooking video — the rigor anchor.
Chef review
Chef Rani personally reviews your capstone and certifies your work — plus a printed certificate and a verifiable digital credential.

Before you join the waitlist
Yes — and we built the course to feel like the in-person academy. Each module is filmed in the real Raw Temple kitchen, graded by a rubric, and gated so you progress in order. A 12-week guided pace keeps you moving, with lifetime access if life gets in the way.
The recommended pace is 12 weeks — roughly one module every 10–11 days — which suits working adults. You keep lifetime access, so you can go faster or slower.
Module 1 includes a kitchen setup guide with a “Minimum Viable Kitchen” path under $400 and a “Pro Setup” path. A blender and a dehydrator cover most of the curriculum; we list exactly what to buy and what to substitute.
It carries the full authority of The Raw Temple Academy and its in-person program. You earn a portfolio-reviewed “Raw Temple Certified Chef” credential — printed certificate, a verifiable digital credential, an optional public directory listing, and a LinkedIn-issuable badge.
