Holiday eating inspiration 👌

31/08/2024

Out of office on 👌 after a looooooong and busy summer working all hours we’ve escaped to France to eat nice food, explore all the markets, read our books and swim lots (so we can eat more food)!

21/08/2024

610 plates of food served up since Friday with a wedding and our biggest retreat to date…time for a day off! It’s been busy but we’ve thrived off the pressure and my wonderful team pulled together to serve up so many delicious looking and tasting dishes 💕

7 years ago to the day after being incredibly poorly I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes & this was the starting point of Holly’s Garden Kitchen! I quit my job working in food product development and took some time off to get my head around this new label which meant multiple injections a day and constant monitoring of my blood sugar. A few months later I took the leap and started my own business. This was always something I wanted to do but the right time had never come along.

What started as a small pre-order takeaway of healthy food has turned into catering for people’s weddings, retreats, festivals and not forgetting our lovely Pierre the Peugeot! I am so proud of myself and feel incredibly lucky to have an amazing support system around me making living my dream possible!

In terms of my Type 1 it is an auto immune disease with no cure. Last week however I was given the latest technology meaning after 7 years there are no more injections and what feels like a little more freedom with a ‘closed loop hybrid system’!

Grab all the opportunities that come your way & take leaps even if they are scary as they may lead somewhere amazing 💕

Courgettes and tomatoes freshly picked out the garden a few hours ago and being served up as we speak…you can’t get better than that 👏

01/08/2024

Hello August ☀️not too long until the sweetcorn is taller than me! The diary is nicely filling for 2025 (I am taking on slightly less to leave at least a weekend free a month)! Also I’m getting a lot of 2026 enquiries which feels a million miles away at the mo! Drop me an email with your dates & events - [email protected] 💕

A golden glow on our first pick of tomatoes to celebrate the end of a crazy July! It’s been a huge team effort (shout out to .olivant.ceramics & .lxuise for all your hard work as well as Mum who did plenty of chopping, delivering and gardening before heading off to join Dad on a well deserved holiday. Even the hubby got the call up to help). I couldn’t have got through it without you all as surprise shingles got me good in June & it took a few weeks to be back on form!

We’ve catered for weddings, made 2 wedding cakes, attended weddings, had many private events and squeezed in 4 retreats, one of which lasted 8 days! I’m starting August off with an early morning dip followed by brekkie at (where else?) before we get cooking for wedding weekend at 👏

Our very first ‘A Trip Down the Kitchen Garden’ event was held a week ago and it went down a treat! We welcomed 9 lovely guests to the farmhouse where they got a plant based cooking demo using seasonal veg, a tour of the kitchen garden and a peek at our busy bees 🐝! They then got to pick themselves a bunch of our beautiful homegrown blooms and plant a strawberry runner to take home before making some gut loving sauerkraut. All rounded up with a delicious meal that they watched me cook earlier!

We’ve had wonderful feedback and are wondering if we should put another one on? Comment and let me know ⬇️

22/07/2024

A few weeks ago we catered for the wedding of lovely Lucy & Tom who are both vegetarian and wanted fresh, tasty veggie food with plenty of variety for their big day! In Lucy’s words…’when we found Holly we felt like we had struck gold’!

We planned a menu of lots of big colourful bowls of salads, falafels, focaccia, hummus & fritters making sure all dietary requirements were covered! To keep everything affordable the food was delivered to the venue and the guests helped themselves to the spread rather than it being waitress service!

Lucy left us a glowing review ending with, ‘The food looked beautiful and colourful and tasted even better - we couldn’t recommend Holly more!’ ❤️

Get in touch if you’re thinking about wedding food and we can chat through delicious menu options!

Mine comes from my hundreds of recipe books (yes I have an obsession), eating out, travel, markets, friends and of course from the seasons and the kitchen garden!

Weekend breakfast done right especially for our retreat guests! Apple & blueberry pancakes with a berry compote. We use stewed apples to sweeten our pancakes rather than sugar 👌 served up with coconut yogurt and crunchy granola! YUM!

Friday is here which means making more delicious treats in the HGK HQ! These are some yummy tahini and almond cookies freshly baked and being topped with dark chocolate and pistachios 👌 recipe will be in the cookery book 👏

Rolling into the weekend like….

A glimpse into retreat cheffing life 👩🏻‍🍳 (well the bits I remembered to film)! Last weekend I catered for 20 lovely guests at @purusha_retreats for @middleyearsmonday 🌻 I love cooking on retreats so much as you really feel like you’re looking after the guests and part of the bond made over the time spent together 💕

Make breakfast on retreat with me 👩🏻‍🍳 I’ve been serving up meals for 20 lovely ladies for a long weekend retreat, if only my hands could move this fast! This brekkie was oats soaked in almond milk with vanilla maca, chia & cinnamon, topped with banana, coconut yogurt, almond butter, kitchen garden fruit compote, more chia seeds, coconut flakes, strawberries & edible flowers 👌

Sunny weekends cooking at @purusha_retreats ❤️ We only have a few weekends free in November & December for retreats this year, all the rest have gone! Our 2025 diary is open and so if you want us to be there to cook the most delicious & nourishing meals for you and your guests get in touch now!

Exciting times ahead…keep those eyes peeled 👀

Who else needs that something sweet for after lunch? These yummy blueberry and almond squares hit the spot just right! The good news is the recipes already written up ready for my cookbook 🙌

Make brekkie on retreat with me 🤗 Bowls of yum - overnight oats with almond milk, maca, chia seeds, banana, seeds, orange & sultanas topped with @pipandnut almond butter, @coconutcollab coconut yogurt, apple, blueberries & of course an edible flower to finish it off! ALSO…how have I only just discovered the Timelapse button on my phone (I always wondered how people filmed in fast forward) 😅 So expect everything to be in double time from now on 😂🙌

Not long to wait 🙏 Waking up on yet another rainy day got me dreaming about the warmer days to come! 🌸 The flowers popping out 🍓 Strawberries ready to ripen 👩🏻‍🌾 The poly tunnel coming to life I’m not wishing my time away but….I can’t blummin wait 🙌

My FAVOURITE ever hummus! Roasted Carrot & Miso deliciousness 🤤 You can pick a jar of miso up in any large supermarket. It’s fermented soya beans which sounds a bit gross but literally add it to anything and it tastes amazing! Ingredients (makes a big bowlful) 325g carrots, roughly chopped 1 tbsp miso paste Drizzle of olive oil 1 garlic clove (2 if you love garlic) 2 tins chickpeas, drained 1 lemon, zest & juice 75 ml Olive oil Seasoning Ras El Hanout - optional topping Method Pre-heat the oven to 190C. Chop the carrots into rounds and place on a lined baking tray. Rub on the miso, drizzle with oil and season with black pepper. Mix well & roast for 25 mins, stirring halfway through. Blend the garlic in the food processor. Add the carrots, drained chickpeas & lemon. Start wizzing and pour in the oil. You are looking for a smooth and thick consistency (not runny). Keep blending and add a tablespoon of water at a time until you reach your desired texture. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Pour into a bowl and top with a sprinkle of Ras el hanout. Enjoy!

Exciting news from HGK…we’re expanding and looking for someone wonderful to join the team! This is a HUGE step and a BIG decision I’ve been pondering over for the past couple of years. It’s a part time roll to start, with a chance for it to go full time in the future ✨ More details to come but I’m putting it out there to the universe and hopefully it’ll send the right person my way 👩🏻‍🌾

SAVE FOR LATER! Two recipes in 1 week!!! Yes I’m on fire haha 🔥 I like to keep it short and simple and so I’ve cooked up one of my favourite salads for this time of year. Delicious hot or cold, lots of flavour from the spices, big juicy dates & a creamy yogurt dressing, what’s not to love! Ingredients 1 cauliflower 1 tbsp turmeric 1 tbsp mild curry powder Olive oil, salt & pepper 10 medjool dates, de-stoned and chopped 1 lemon, zest & juice 1 tin chickpeas, drained 3 heaped tbsp coconut yogurt Handful chopped parsley 1 tbsp flaked almonds Method Preheat the oven to 190C. Chop cauliflower into florets and place on a lined baking tray. Add spices, olive oil and seasoning and mix until well coated. Roast for 20-25mins, stirring halfway through. Pour cooked cauliflower into a bowl and add the dates, lemon, chickpeas, yogurt & parsley. Mix! Place the almonds on an oven tray and cook for a few minutes (keep an eye on them as they burn quickly) Sprinkle over the salad to finish & enjoy!

Yes we’re a catering company but we don’t do everything. Here’s what we do best - 🥕 wellness retreat catering, from one day to one week 🥕 street food from our lovely Pierre the Peugeot 🥕 events - cooking demos, pottery workshops, yoga days (we team up with local teachers to deliver you the best day) 🥕 sharing plates - this could be for weddings, business meetings, lunches or dinners 🥕 cakes - mostly decorated with buttercream and edible flowers 🥕 specialise in veggie & vegan delights! We do all food but that’s my fave to cook. We can always guarantee our food will be delicious, nourishing and colourful! If we can grow the ingredients to go in your dishes we always try to in our kitchen garden which keeps everything fresh and seasonal. Get in touch with your event to see if we can help 👩🏻‍🍳

I mean I probably can’t solve all your problems, but let me help with one! You’ve got a big party or event coming up. You’ve invited everyone you love and you can’t wait to see them all and spend time catching up….but you’re already laying awake at night worrying about what to feed them, how to keep all those drinks topped up, is there enough space in the fridge, who’s going to warm up the canapés, could do a bbq but usually it ends up burnt, how many options for pudding, and oh my god you’ve just remembered auntie Sue’s a vegan and Kate’s son is something called a coeliac 🤯 With all of that swimming around your brain you’re kind of regretting sending the invites and wishing you had booked a quite weekend away? This is why you get in touch with me, so all of the above is taken care of and we’ll even do the washing up. Not only do we provide the most delicious food which covers all the guests requirements, we take away all the stress from you so you can be milling around, glass of fizz in hand, catching up with everyone you love and not thinking are we going to run out of ice! Weekends are nearly fully booked until November so if you’re thinking of dropping me a message, this is me telling you to do so 💕 #makingyourmarkinmarch #makeyourmark

So much fun joining @peruviancuscoflavors for one of their classes. We started with a tour around the local market selecting ingredients for our traditional Peruvian dishes and learning about the different foods. Then back to the studio to cook up a storm with Chef Jesus! I would highly recommend doing a cooking class when you travel somewhere new 👩🏻‍🍳 this one added new delicious dishes to my repertoire, we met some lovely people and had a great time!

The W Trek, 49 miles of the most insane scenery in the Patagonian wilderness. Such incredible memories and an adventure we’ll never forget! We’ll be back to do the full 9 day O Trek next time 🌿

Keeping you up to date with our travels so here is week 2! We’ve arrived in Argentina and had a couple of stops so far… 💦 Iguazu Falls, absolutely spectacular the videos don’t do it justice 💃🏻 Buenos Aires, so colourful & fun, would highly recommend
