So - I've recently made a lot of new connections and decided it was about time I re-introduce myself to the world (or at least Instagram😂)
My name is Mel and I am a plant-based vegan/vegetarian retreat chef, specializing in wholesome, nutritious, colorful and fun meals to not only fill your body, but make it feel good afterward.
I also am a sensory specialist (what does that even mean?!) Well - I work with the five senses to help you understand the connection between you, your nervous system, and the world around you through food and sensory play. I combine the two in order to give my clients a culinary experience that can only be felt.
Aside from cooking I am a spoken word artist, published poet, a wannabe mountaineer, and a world wanderer because I believe we all have multiple personalities and should not be afraid to get to know them.
If you are looking for a unique and elevated sensory dining experience or even just a wholesome, free-spirited, high-vibe chef at your next retreat, please talk to me. My books are OPEN and I am available worldwide. (I've got a package for everyone, I promise!)
I am currently booking in the USA/Mexico for April & May, and will be available in Central & South America starting the end of August. If you have something coming up - let's chat, I'd love to cook some magic up together this season 🥰🍉🌶🌽🍹
