A bit about me

I love creating tasty and well-balanced meals which incorporate all six tastes on a plate, something I learned from my training in Ayurveda. Taste and texture are so important and most of all, I love providing nourishing food and supporting people on retreat. I believe a little sweet treat can be nourishing and tasty and am a keen baker (cakes). I’m able to add on a cooking demo or give guests an overview of Ayurveda. I like to understand what the host wants to create on retreat, including how much activity there is for guests so we can work out the best menu and match the needs of the retreat.

You can find me on social media as ‘mywholeheartedtable’ - I believe that food can be good for your physical heart (nutritious and well-balanced) as well as for your emotional heart (made with love).

A snapshot of my work

Claire was an integral part of our retreat and her food absolutely wowed our guests. Having the right food to nourish and support our guests was an important factor for us. Knowing Claire was in the kitchen preparing incredible seasonal, locally sourced meals made our life easier while running a busy retreat. Snacks and fresh food at every meal was amazing and don’t forget all the cake! Highly recommend Claire.Sonia Norman
I had the pleasure of working with Claire during my Cotswold Retreat, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of our catering. She truly went above and beyond, preparing delicious, nourishing meals that catered to all our dietary needs with ease and creativity. From breakfast through to lunch, dinner, and even desserts, everything was made with such care and attention—and always served on time. Claire’s hands create magic in the kitchen, and her food was a big part of what made the retreat so special. Beyond her talent, she’s also a beautiful, kind soul whose calming presence added so much warmth to the experience. I can’t recommend her highly enough.Manjit Sohal
