“I’ve worked with many different chefs through the years as I’ve hosted domestic yoga retreats & Amanda is by far the best! She creates a very creative & thoughtful menu, sources much of her food from her own farm/surrounding area, is a pleasure to work with & the quality of her food is unsurpassed! The delicious, creative & beautiful food she provides on my retreats is always a HUGE highlight of the retreat & I wouldn’t want to work with anyone else. Her passion is palpable, her attention to detail is immaculate & her knowledge is vast. Run, don’t walk to hire Amanda!”
