  • 'Kate went above and beyond to create an incredible menu for my 3 day retreat in November 2024. In fact I think the food was the star of the show!! Her planning and preparation were meticulous – she asked lots of questions to make sure she understood the brief and provided several options for me to choose from. She did an incredible tasting session beforehand and then blew me away at the event. The food was prepared with love and was utterly delicious. Not only that it was nutritionally balanced too and she explained the make up of every dish to us before serving it. I couldn’t recommend Kate highly enough, and will certainly be using her again myself'

  • Kate prepared meals for me to take back to work following an operation. She prepared a range of different dishes ensuring that they were nutritionally balanced and had the optimum ingredients for recovery. They looked exquisite and were all totally delicious. She even made a range that would freeze so I enjoyed them for weeks to come.
