If there was one picture that sums up my cooking...it would have to be a tray of sweet, juicy, fragrant tomatoes with freshly picked herbs, crushed garlic, sea salt,swimming in oozing, velvety extra virgin olive oil ...
It tells so much more about how I cook and what I unapologetically stand for when it comes to food:
💫ABUNDANCE
✨VIBRANCY
🪄PURE PLANT MAGIC
❤️ UNEXPECTED SENSATIONS
🔥SURPRISING FLAVOURS
💖 UNIQUENESS
🌿 FRESHNESS AND NOURISHMENT
You can expect so much more than hummus and celery sticks or stuffed peppers taking you right back to 70s....nostalgia is good, I get it, but you deserve so much more, and plants can take you there. Let me show you the new ways ....

💖What does PURE LOVE mean to you? To me, it's joy, it's passion, it's the feeling the peace from within. Can food give you that?
Absolutely .....and so much more ...
Having cooked at over 15 retreats in 2024 ( and we are only half way through the year!! ) I am so immensely proud that my life and food philosophy align and are being appreciated by so many people....
Some lovely comments from last weekend in Norfolk with :
✨' I feel nourished, looked after, and cared from inside out...'
🪄 ' I was so worried and brought lots of snacks, and I didn't open one bag!'
💫' Food was perfect, clearly made with love and so much passion'

💘 Hearing this fills me with so much love...can't wait to cook more!

🤩Those BUCKWHEAT & BLUEBERRIES PANCAKES are my staple during yoga retreats! I never used to repeat the menus and have the same food for each teacher as I pride myself in creating unique menus , but those babies just hit the spot! So why fix something that ain't broken!
They are filling, naturally GLUTEN FREE, and got ZERO SUGAR! I always get asked about the recipe!
My guests in Norfolk at recent retreat loved them!

💕YOUR RETREAT BREAKFAST COULD LOOK LIKE THAT....MINUS THE 😺!
🛑Let's break the myths about retreat food- it's either 'too healthy ' , everyone is always hungry, it's predictable, not inventive or inspiring, plain, and safe.
😭I would HATE to experience that. I am fortunate enough to travel and spend time at many retreats worldwide , that's where I get my inspiration and new ideas. I watch people closely and how much food means for them. I listen to all the conversations, all the sounds of yumminess, all the comments, and I take notes. This helps me to develop and grow my OFFERINGS!
No retreat is the same, so when I design a menu, it's always YOU and YOUR vision, plus my EXPERIENCE.

44. I was so scared to say it out loud for such a long time. I've attached so much to my age, mostly, the idea of passing, of losing things forever. I never saw ageing as the great container of GAINING. Not just wrinkles and pre menopausal rolls on my stomach.
Gifts of age come in a form of
PEACE
PATIENCE
DOING LESS
FEELING MORE
⏳⏳⏳
Slow flow that I found, something that was scary AF, provided me with the most abundant life I've dreamt of.
❤️‍🩹 Is it always all roses? Absof****lutely NOT. And that's ok too.
📸 Thank you my dear for capturing those moments when I'm truly myself , outside of my kitchen, and seeing a woman in me ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

GLORIOUS SANDWICHES!
Who doesn't love a perfectly put together sarnie? And WHY is it so difficult to find one in the cafes and restaurants?
😡I'm REFUSING to settle for boring "cheese & onion " or hummus& falafel ones.
🛑 I'm REFUSING to pay for ULTRA PROCESSED FOODS that's labeled ' homemade ' just because someone cut the roll in half!!!
🤤I want us all to eat food that EARTH is gifting us💚
✨ Perfect sarnie ideas:
🌿 Glazed mushrooms, smashed black beans, miso mayo, crispy onions
🌿 Sweet and spicy marinated baked tofu, crunchy slaw, toasted peanuts
🌿Roasted beetroot, walnut pesto, spinach
🌿 Massaged lemon kale, parsley & sunflower seeds pesto, confit tomato

🍔Have your burger and eat it too! I love a good bun with yummy sauces , plenty of crunchy salads and of course, the best patty! My famous veggie burgers were one of the first things I was selling and I must have made thousands of them in the last 5 years...
💖What I love about them the most- they celebrate PURE VEGETABLE AND NATURE...
Nothing is processed , deep fried and pretends to be something it's not.
☠️There's so much research these days confirming links between cancer and ultra processed foods and that sadly includes all those vegan alternatives so widely available in the supermarkets....
💚So I just prefer to grate a beetroot, mix it with millet, seeds, spices and fresh herbs , bake it in the oven and enjoy it in a sourdough roll, with plenty of sauerkraut, pickled onions and homemade mayo!

Have you eaten my burgers?

I'M BEGGING YOU! EAT REAL FOOD!!!
💜 I have been using this slogan since the beginning of my company, I always intuitively felt that the way we eat is heading in a very bad and scary direction. Then all the dirty veganism became so popular, with all the ULTRA PROCESSED FOOD options, making people believe that the label VEGAN= HEALTHY.
🛑 This is so wrong. Coca cola is vegan too, does it mean it's good for you?!
💚 Let's go back to basics, to real taste of vegetables and pulses , without deep frying and processing them!
⚖️I believe in healthy yet nourishing food, I'm a huge potato lover and I'll never shy away from a good pasta or flatbread! Just balance that with tons of fiber and don't cover it with cheese or horrendous vegan alternatives... We can get some amazing flavours without it.
✨Trust nature, she planned it all perfectly

💣It's NOT too early to start planning your retreats and events for 2025! Trust me we are only in March and I'm already up to 90% capacity for this year, with only a handful of weekends left!
🌈It's been non stop since I came back from Thailand, full of fresh, zesty, spicy energy that is presenting in so much abundance! I can't wait to cook for you!

🪄IT'S TIME TO SAY GOODBYE.....THINGS ARE CHANGING....
After heart softening, body nourishing and soul cuddling week in things can never be the same....I'm still integrating everything that happened, for now I know I'm coming home inspired, ready, and braver than ever. And that relates to MY WORK too ..
Expect NEW OFFERINGS for yoga&wellness retreats facilitators, as being on the receiving end of retreat for once only reassured me of the role that food plays in people's lives, and the way it can truly change your experience.
☎️ Get in touch to discuss your DREAM RETREAT , let's make the magic together
📸 Thank you lovely Vivienne for capturing the most amazing food at the retreat, as I locked my phone away💕

🧄 Frightened that there won't be enough food? That's something I hear the most ...hungry guests are one of my worst nightmares!

🥳🥳🥳So...you are planning👰‍♀️ WEDDING or 🧘‍♂️ RETREAT or celebrating 🥂 BIG BIRTHDAY...where to start when planning your perfect & delicious MENU?
Here are my TOP 3 TIPS how to make your guests speechless!
📌 Think about THEME. It's so much easier to plan the dishes around specific cuisine or style.
📌 Think how to bring an element of SURPRISE to the table - something that can be a talking point, ice-breaker or even can be turned into a game. Salmon from carrots, pate from walnuts, cheese from tofu.
📌 Think FAMILIARITY...As much as you may love oriental and rare dishes and ingredients, it's not always a success with others, so don't plan the whole menu around a kimchi. BUT it doesn't have to mean boring and predictable either, how about...
💚 Instead of plain hummus, spice it up with roasted chillis and top up with crunchy dukkah
💚 Instead of plane coleslaw, make it with root vegetables spaghetti and sprinkle with pomegranate
💚 Instead of standard potato salad, add roasted capers, dill oil and artichokes
🌈Be BRAVE! Or....let me plan your menu!
Availability for 2024 is shrinking so get in touch!

WINTER IS FOR SEALING MEMORIES...
Integrating, processing and appreciating. I do this by taking time, to
❤️‍🩹 Visit my friends who are my chosen family
💚 Spend as much time in nature as possible
💜 Falling in love with slow cooking
💞Sitting back and being forever grateful for all amazing opportunities this year, and welcoming everything that's awaiting me...
Here's a throwback to my first huge wedding last September, which was the beginning of what I call a full time job now. Thank you Kat&Will
