✨ Escape Wellness Retreat ✨
🍜 Catering for 34 people is not for the faint of heart, but when I tell you that I just absolutely LOVED this day with my whole heart!
😝 Lots of prep the day before & lots of work on the day, and you absolutely have to be organised and stay cool under pressure - which I'm quite good at!
I also want to thank Scott & Tony at Escape Wellness .wellness , literally from the moment we came together it just clicked so naturally, I absolutely loved them both from the word go. Mel from Love Leaf Tea who put us in touch with each other, what a darling you are & if you haven't tried her teas, get on it! Keep an eye on her page, she's sometimes at Jesmond Food Market & Ouseburn Market and the Rhubarb Spritz is a must - it's my favourite tea ever!
Also a huge thank you to Alessandra at The Forest Boost , she has a gorgeous shop in The Grainger Market selling acai & it's absolutely divine and like no fruit you've ever tasted before - I now supply her acai on retreats and am so happy to represent her business, everyone loved the bowls on the day of the retreat!
I'd also like to thank Mercedes from Cortijo Coracho - if you love olive oil, like me, let me tell you - I've been all over the world and NEVER have I tasted olive oil like this in my life.
When I cook, I want to show the best of small businesses and I want my clients to get to know businesses I love and the reasons I use them - it is other worldly olive oil!
Another thank you to MJ, who so kindly mucked in and helped tidy and clean with me, it was an absolute pleasure to meet you and I can't wait to meet you again!
So a huge thank you to everyone involved, literally the best day of my career so far 🩷
✨ I'm very grateful and very proud! 🩷
