I love to cook. It is an honour to create with nature's abundance, to bring to the table the beauty and life energy of all the raw ingredients, celebrated in many delicious forms. I see the ingredients and myself as partners in the process, as I bring forward their essence as any artist works with their materials to allow something wonderful to emerge. I love working from this inspired place!
Whether you are vegetarian, meat-lover, omnivore, paleo, or quite restricted health-wise with your diet (or if your group is all of the above!) I'm happy to meet your needs.
Generally, my rates are:
$12-25/person/breakfast
$20-45/person/lunch
$35-60/person/dinner and dessert
I typically offer the lower end of the scale for multi-day engagements only. Prices also vary according to menu.
Please contact me to discuss other arrangements (e.g. in-home private meal prep)
I use high quality organic, local and ethically-sourced ingredients whenever possible, with the emphasis being on dense well-balanced nutrition, good variety with lots of colour and flavour.
Every retreat and gathering is unique; so too are the needs of the people! I'm very happy to work with your vision and budgetary needs.
