Simonne

I am a passionate plant-based chef, food educator and culinary artist, with 16 years of experience in teaching, retreats and creative food projects.

As a creative entrepreneur, I have worked at the intersection of photography, art, food and wellbeing.

After suffering from lifestyle-related health challenges for several years, I experienced a personal turning point in 2012. I learned the whole food plant-based cooking and alkaline principles, and discovered a new way of nourishing my body. I gradually regained my health, energy and vitality, and this experience changed the direction of my life and work.

I became deeply aware of the power of plant-based food, cooking and lifestyle, and went on to become a plant-based chef, educator and retreat chef.

Since then, I have taught more than 74 cooking courses and hosted lifestyle and wellness retreats, as well as working as a hired chef for more than 200 people. One of the most rewarding parts of my work has been seeing young people become curious, engaged and inspired by new ways of experiencing food.

I believe food can reconnect us with ourselves, with one another and with the living world — while bringing joy, creativity and inspiration to everyday life.

WE HAVE A CHOICE
My mission is to inspire people to become more conscious of what they eat, how they cook and the choices they make — moving from passive consumers to conscious food choosers.

An invitation to slow down. To taste. To feel. To create. To reconnect.

YOUR HEALTH STARTS IN YOUR KITCHEN

Today, my work brings together my experience as a plant-based chef, food educator, photographer, recipe developer and holistic mentor.

I create food experiences, educational programmes and professional training that bring people closer to plants, creativity and the joy of preparing food together.
