Kirsten
Hi, I'm Kirsten. As a qualified retreat chef with a passion for plant-based foods, I would be thrilled to prepare delicious, nutritious meals for you and your retreat guests.
Kirsten has been my Retreat Chef for the past few years and I CANNOT imagine doing a Yoga Retreat without her now!
I have no words big enough to show how easy and stress-free Kirsten makes my Retreat planning & hosting.
Any dietary requirements my guests have, Kirsten takes them in her stride with no fuss and if there are any last minute changes, she handles it like the pro that she is.
My guests all absolutely LOVE her and their first question now when I advertise a new Retreat is, “Will Kirsten be there?” And the answer is always of course, YES!
The food she serves is not only delicious and nutritious, but gorgeous to look at too. Her portion sizes are great and I’ve never had a guest on my Retreats go hungry – even those who arrived as avid meat eaters!
If you are looking for a Retreat Chef who not only will get the job done, support you and become a very close friend, I highly recommend booking Kirsten!
Working with Kirsten during 2024, I’ve chosen her again for my recent winter and for my upcoming Tuscany retreat and honestly, I can’t imagine working with anyone else. There is a magic combination she brings… innovative, nourishing and gut pleasing plant based soul food that carries the whole retreat, plus a sensitivity to your needs as the facilitator (day 4 wobble for me and she delivered a much needed hug by taking one look at me). She is reliable, efficient, hard-working and passionate and most of all she has a beautiful heart ❤️
Kirsten was just an incredible chef and lovely person. The meals were prepared with love and passion and everything tasted delicious with the use of fresh, seasonal produce, herbs and spices and desserts that melted in the mouth.
There was always plenty of it and one did not go hungry. Thankyou Kirsten 💕
Having worked with Kirsten on my past 2 yoga retreats I’m absolutely thrilled to have booked her again for my next on later this year!
I honestly don’t ever want to have to find a new retreat chef as Kirsten is an absolutely incredible super human chef!
She’s not only an incredibly talented chef, she’s such a wonderful kind and thoughtful lady! She always instantly captures the love from my retreat guests as she’s so friendly and fun while still being incredibly professional and providing an amazing service!
I honestly don’t know how she does it all seamlessly through the retreat! She never stops and provides the most delicious food!
Can’t recommend her enough ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Kirsten delivers the highest quality of plant based food, tasty and creative every meal is absolutely delicious!
She offers a very special service to any retreat with her efficiency, calm and humorous nature, she’s an asset in so many ways to any retreat.
We highly recommend Kirsten as the perfect retreat chef!
This was my second holiday experiencing Kirstens wonderful cooking. Kirsten produces consistently high quality vegetarian feasts which everyone looked forward to. She used local produce and was so creative in her cooking and presentation. I wish I was still eating her meals!
I have been lucky enough to enjoy Kirsten’s cheffing on two retreats in Italy now and the food has been absolutely delicious. Every day was different with a real variety of meals, baking and snacks and everything was fresh, tasty and reflected the region’s wonderful produce. I have a serious nut allergy and Kirsten prepared my food with care and thoughtfulness. Thank you!
Kirsten has been our chef on several retreats at Rosmarino over the last couple of years. She sets the bar high in every aspect of the job. The menu/thought/delivery of the food provision is outstanding.
Her nutrition knowledge is extensive and we’ve found our guests really enjoyed not just eating her food but learning about it.
Nothing phases her “on the job” including unexpected dietary requirements, a dishwasher breaking down on day 2, and a broken bone (yes, really).
I think anyone would be hard pressed to find a better retreat chef than Kirsten. Fact.
Wow – what can I say? Kirsten is just an amazing chef and beautiful person. So dedicated, working tirelessly from early in the morning until late at night to ensure she provides you with the most delicious, nutritious variety of food. Five days on the retreat and we ate a variety of at least 65 different plants (fruit, vegetables, grains, nuts & seeds etc). Remarkable.
I came away feeling so healthy. She has shared some of her recipes which are easy to follow. She’s a real expert on health, wellbeing and gut health. She has certainly influenced my eating habits for the better. Highly recommend. Thank you Kirsten!
Kirsten’s food was undoubtedly one of the highlights of my yoga holiday at Rosmarino Retreats in Italy. She is an unbelievably talented chef who nourished us throughout the week.
Every meal was nutritious, vibrant and full of flavour, not only good for the body but a joy for the senses! She managed to surprise and delight us and each meal was balanced and in tune with the energy of our yoga practice. I found myself excited for each mealtime wondering what beautiful creation would be waiting for is next.
It is clear Kirsten prepares each meal with love and truly understands how food works to heal, energise and uplift.
Thank you for feeding us so beautifully, I came away feeling energised, healthy and inspired, I have tried a few of the recipes and they are delicious!
