Hello, I’m Caroline, founder of Brodie’s Pantry.

About Me

I specialise in Plant-based cooking with a strong focus on seasonality and sustainability. As a self-taught chef, I’ve had the privilege of training under Bettina Campolucci Bordi at The Retreat Academy in London and Bali, where I honed my skills and refined my approach to creating nourishing meals. My journey into the world of wellness and food is rooted in my background as a former NHS nurse, which has deeply influenced my passion for health, wellbeing and the connection between food and the body.

My Instagram Food Blog @brodies_pantry is a reflection of this creativity, allowing me to experiment with flavours, different cuisines, allergen  and styles and storytelling as I often share recipes and the inspiration behind them. My favourite cuisine to cook is Asian, (Bold, Balanced and Soulful ). I love collaborating with clients to craft magical menus and memorable mealtimes, ensuring every detail reflects care, intention and a deep connection to nourishing the body and soul.

When it comes to cooking for retreats, one of the things I care most about is making sure every guest feels safe, seen, and nourished. I have experience working with guests who are dairy-free, gluten-free, nut-free, soy-free and more.

I’m based in a rural community in Renfrewshire, but I’m happy to travel across Scotland and worldwide for the right collaborations. When I’m not in the kitchen, you’ll likely find me walking my dog, gardening,  watching my son windsurf or cheering my daughter at the football pitch.

Let’s work together to create an unforgettable culinary experience at your next retreat.

Love Caroline xx

    Incredible Food

    5.0/ 5

    I’ve been lucky enough to attend two events where Caroline has designed and created the most incredible food, every single dish is seasonal, beautifully thought out, and made with such high-quality ingredients that you can genuinely taste the care that goes into it. The dishes are consistently delicious, satisfying, and full of vibrant flavour. Caroline always goes above and beyond, the little touches that make the meal even more special. If you’re looking for a chef for an event or retreat then I would highligh recommend booking Caroline

    Exceptional Retreat Chef

    5.0/ 5

    Caroline was recommended to me when I was looking for a retreat chef for my week long sound healing retreat in Loch Lomond. She over delivered on every aspect of her creations throughout the week. Her food really is excellent and her thought and intention behind every single element was so inspiring. She up levelled the retreat experience far beyond my expectations and all the guests were absolutely blown away. I can’t recommend Caroline enough.

    Wow – you must try Caroline’s creations

    5.0/ 5

    I would highly recommend Caroline to anyone who is looking for a retreat chef. Caroline brings something really unique to her food, everything is fresh, carefully thought out and foraged locally. You can feel the love in the presentation and the taste of each dish is out of this world. It was a real privilege to have Caroline’s dishes for a week-long retreat; everyone attending was excited for the next meal and to hear the enjoyment around the table was magical to witness xxxx

    First class retreat chef

    5.0/ 5

    Caroline from Brodies Pantry created the most delicious, healthy lunch for us at my retreat in Ardmay House, all the guests were blown away with how tasty & wholesome the delicious walnut & feta, & courgette salad was with a dressing to die for! It truly was a nurturing & nutritional lunch – we could feel our bodies saying yes to all the fresh healthy ingredients! Weeks later my guests are still raving about how good it was! I also have to mention Caroline’s dark chocolate healthy afternoon treats which were a little bit of heaven! Professional, friendly & exceptionally talented, Caroline’s passion & love for delivering first class food that will make you feel fabulous is second to none, I would absolutely 100% recommend if you are considering hosting a special occasion or retreat that you get Caroline booked in!
