“The amazing food that our charming and professional chef Kate prepares for us is an indispensable ingredient of the Retreat “Food for Mind, Body and Soul” that we give every year in Tuscany, Italy. She uses local, fresh, and seasonal ingredients to create a seemingly never-ending stream of delicious dishes whilst always taking our guests’ dietary requirements into consideration. Not only is her food unfailingly delicious, but it is also beautifully presented. She wins everyone’s hearts with the way she makes sure that everything is perfect and everybody is happy. Kate also has a great knowledge in nutrition and has always been able to advise anyone who is interested/has specific issues or questions regarding nutrition, meal planning and wholesome recipes.”

 "Kate first cooked for us in 2015 when we were celebrating a birthday. Her food was incredible. She offers a wide variety of dishes, all of which are locally sourced and beautifully cooked. Her attention to detail is wonderful, so it was with delight that we were able to get her to cook for us again in 2023. We were not disappointed. What a fantastic way to end  another great holiday.
I am more than happy to recommend Kate to anyone who enjoys fantastic food, perfectly cooked. It is high end restaurant standard and we will definitely ask her to cook for us again."
