Retreats
Do you need catering for a retreat? My menus are designed to cater various dietary requirements, without compromising any flavor or quality. From plated dinners to buffet style brunches, all my dishes are thoughtfully prepared to be vibrant, wholesome, delicious and bring people together in meaningful experiences.
If you’re interested in collaborating on a retreat I would love to work with you to create an inspiring food experience tailored to your retreat and location. I am currently based in Portugal but I cater for different locations across Europe. For enquiries and collaborations, please get in touch via email.

If you’re interested in hosting a pop-up or guest chef event, please get in touch to discuss ideas. My approach is plant-based and sustainable, and menus and styles can be developed together, ensuring your event is unique and perfectly matched to your venue or occasion.
