Testimonials

“Lisa catered for our yoga retreat at Coombe Farm Studios in Devon, as an art centre that also offers yoga, there were three key aspects for the food we wanted to offer - we wanted it to be utterly delicious, nourishing and look incredible! Lisa delivered on all three, the combination of flavours were stunning and the attention to colour and composition of every dish was inspiring. Having worked with lots of chefs what I also hugely appreciated was Lisa’s relaxed, organised approach. I felt like she was really taking care of us and nourishing us whilst also being spot on with the essential details like budgeting and juggling lots of varied dietary needs. It was an honour to work with you Lisa, I just wish you lived nearer so you could cook for us everyday!”

“Lisa Murgatroyd has cooked up some of the best meals I have ever tasted and is the

best chef I have ever hired. I have been using Lisa for the past 4 years on my Yoga Retreats and she is always professional and takes all worries away concerning food and meals. From diverse ideas for recipes to budgeting, shopping, prep and presentation, everything Lisa does is impeccable. Every year Lisa blows me away with her delicious food and out of this world desserts. Thank you Lisa for being such an important part of my Yoga Retreats. You nourish us with your amazing food and always do it with a smile on your face.”

“Lisa is a gourmet chef with an exquisite sense of flavors, textures, and variety. As

our chef for the Swiss Alps Writing, Yoga, and Music retreat, she delighted us with an amazing variety of vegetarian tastes and lots of "naughty" deserts! My personal

favorites were the "Mango Fool" and the "Pavlova". Yum! I'm amazed that everything was fresh and home made down to the sesame brittle on the "Mango Fool." I highly recommend Lisa as a chef! Here's the feedback from this very international group of participants at the retreat, ages 23 to 74. Participants were from the UK, Australia, US, Lebanon, Belgium, Italy, Canada, Nigeria, Switzerland, and beyond). Everyone loved the food! Even the non-vegetarians said they did not miss meat. Their feedback follows:

“Excellent!" | "Perfect!" | "On a scale of 1 to 5 - 5,000." | "Heavenly."  | "+5+++”
