Seasonal, Ayurvedic-inspired plant-based food designed to elevate the retreat experience.
Hi, I’m Kasia.
I help facilitators to provide a unique experience through food. I’m Many Things! With a background in interior design and textiles, design education and yoga, I bring a highly creative and intuitive touch to every plate. I undertsand the language of retreat: as a yoga teacher and regular retreat contributor, I intuitively understand the flow of the day and how food can support it.
At the heart of my cooking is providing a nutritious, plant-based food, full of flavour and colour that is gut and earth friendly. All meals are 100% plant-based* and free from refined ingredients inspired by the principles of Ayurveda. I have cooked on retreats in the UK and France.
(*vegetarian options will be considered on request).
I have trained with Bex from the Mindful Kitchen in Ayurvedic Plant-based retreat cheffing.
My interest in Ayurveda began with a trip to India where I started learning and understanding more about using food as a foundation for all aspects of health. I learnt to pay more attention to pairing ingredients using a spectrum of tastes and diverse spices to support a balanced and holistic approach to wellbeing. I apply these principled to design menus to reflect different seasons and as much as possible is made from scratch: sauces, ferments, pickles, dressing are all made by me. Meals are prepared using locally sources ingredients prioritising organically grown fresh produce. I design food to reflect your retreat’s atmosphere, pace, and energy, making each dish a memorable part of the experience – creative, intentional, and deeply nourishing.
