Cooking plant-based meals on high-end retreats is my favourite meditation in motion. I infuse each meal with vibrancy and authenticity. Making sure the food is pure, nutrient dense, respecting the seasonal and locally grown produce, honoring the Mediteranian land. I love to bring not only beautiful inspiring food to the table but to reveal wisdoms & stories which are interwoven into the creation of each recipe. Those stories shaped my journey and continue to fuel my culinary expressions. The guests adore it!
On a deeper level, beyond feeding the physical body, my intention is to invite a more conscious way of relating to food, to refine the senses, and let flavours, textures play their game and seduce, so that one feels in peace, balanced and well nourished by the abundance of Mother Earth.
Food by Anita is cooked with high-quality organic and natural ingredients, using functional plants (adaptogens) so that what you have on your plate is a powerful tool that nourishes body, mind, soul.
Serving Food as Ceremony.
I offer creative plant-based food, which it’s mainly gluten free, except the local sourdough bread (gluten free option available on request). The meals are diverse, prepared fresh, from scratch, and on spot. Some of my signature items are turmeric black pepper chickpeas tacos, home made cashew cheese spread, mango jasmine mousse, strawberry kombucha and sauerkraut. I highly value are the local artichokes, olives, the soft sun-dried tomatoes, the best tasting juicy oranges, avocados, the salty flakes, and the olive oil which people call “golden liquid” for a reason. Treasures are as well the freshly picked aromatic herbs and edible flowers from my kitchen garden in Soller.
The menu is in tune with the season and could be adapted according to the theme of the retreat. For the climate specifics of the island of Mallorca, I recommend serving brunch, afternoon snacks and dinner, but i remain flexible if any other way suits better your concept.
Often times clients add additional services to the program. One of the conveniences is that you’re going to have one point contact for it all. I’m happy I can offer such diversity of unique experiences.

“Her food was amazing. Before the trip I wasn’t so much in touch with vegan food and Anita’s showed me that it can be very yummy!”
