Private chef service at your retreat
The use of the best ingredients is one of the pillars of Planet Based Kitchen's culinary world. The ingredients we use are mostly locally sourced and preferably organic. We believe in handmade food, in which we put all our love, passion and positive energy. We like to use fresh herbs, exotic spices, ripe fruits and vegetables, and fresh fish and meat. We prepare vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, lactose-free, sugar-free meals, and cater to any of our guests' dietary requirements. Our goal is to put together a balanced menu that not only brings joy but also nourishes the body and soul. During the retreat, in addition to cooking for you, we also offer cooking workshops, based on our unique exclusive recipes.
