Catering for a Yoga Retreat

Earlier this month I had the pleasure of going to work as a private chef on a Yoga Retreat in Worcestershire. The brief was to produce three meals a day for ten women, using as many organic ingredients as possible. All the food was of course vegan. I had a wonderful time in the kitchen and the event gave me the opportunity to showcase some of the dishes I’ve been working on over the last few months.

It was also amazing to practice some yoga with the inspirational Leela Miller, of Tri Yoga, London.

Many thanks to The Organic Fresh Food Company of Lampeter in Wales for their assistance in my very large order of organic produce (all of which was fantastic!).

Some of my favourite vegetarian recipes

My friend Jane and I are extremely proud of the Vegetarian Recipe Club – Viva!’s dedicated recipe website that we run. Over the last couple of years, we have tried and tested literally hundreds of recipes, many of which have been published in various guides, others fed to crowds of people across the country at the Viva! Incredible Veggie Roadshows and our cookery demonstrations.

I thought I’d share some of my favourite dishes with you – each linked through to the recipe on the Vegetarian Recipe Club.

Everything we do is 100% vegan.
