about me.
I am a plant-based chef specialising in catering for retreats and private events since 2018.
I am very much inspired by nature and love to showcase the beauty and abundance of the edible plant world through my cooking. My ethos is rooted in the idea that living simply and more in line with the natural world can improve our health and happiness.

Honouring the Seasons.
Wherever I am, I try to work with seasonal, local produce so I may create healthy, vibrant, wholesome dishes that are more in line with the natural cycles of the seasons.

Soul Food.
For me, food is about so much more than just consuming calories - nutritious food should taste amazing and feel nourishing for the mind, body and soul.

Wholefood Ingredients.
I like to use nutrition-rich ingredients such as unrefined sugars, ancient flours & grains, soaked beans, cold-pressed oils, whole nuts & seeds plus many other superfoods.

Holistic Health.
I create well-balanced, energising meals; focusing on complex carbs, high-quality plant protein, fermented foods & micro-nutrients to benefit both physical & mental health.

Rooted in Nature.
I believe how & what we eat is our strongest connection to the natural world. My cooking is heavily influenced by my interest in permaculture, herbalism, foraging & my love for nature.
“Mhairi is a total treasure. I cannot recommend her enough. We literally oohed and awed through every single meal she prepared for us on retreat. Her food is delicious, healthy, gorgeous and packed with love. The presentation flawless. You can feel the care and good energy she puts into every creative dish. I am very picky when it comes to healthy retreat food and Mhairi hit the ball out of the park. My digestion never felt better after a week of eating her food. I'm plotting how to have her on every retreat I lead! She's a star”
