“Working with Grace on my yoga retreats has always been an absolute delight. Her talent, professionalism and lovely nature shines through all her dishes, adored by all of the retreat guests. The food is plentiful, delicious and presented in a way that could easily be featured in a food magazine. No matter how big the group, Grace always remains calm and relaxed, creating such a nice atmosphere and making everyone feel at ease. I can't wait to work with Grace again in the future, anyone who gets to have her as their retreat chef is a lucky one!”

“Grace from Root to Flower is an absolute dream to work with. She provides the canapés for our wine tasting events and consistently goes above and beyond every single time. The food is not only beautifully presented but genuinely exceptional - we always receive amazing feedback from our guests, many of whom mention the canapés as a highlight of the evening. Grace is super talented, incredibly easy to work with, and brilliant at communicating, which makes the whole process seamless and stress-free. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough and wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again.”

“Root to Flower are a joy to work with and an integral part of our retreats and corporate wellness days at The Farm Club. Their locally sourced, plant-based food is always beautifully prepared, nourishing and thoughtfully presented, and our guests consistently comment on how delicious and satisfying it is. Their approach aligns perfectly with our ethos around wellbeing, sustainability and care, and we couldn’t recommend them highly enough.”

When planning our wedding it was important to us to have delicious plant based feast that everyone would sit down and enjoy together. Everything was well thought out for the occasion and went down really well, even with non vegan family! Grace was responsive and easy to communicate with during planning and her and Conner helped create a warm atmosphere on the day. The peace lily given to us as a wedding gift was a lovely touch that we really appreciated (and have managed to keep alive so far!)

“We have had the pleasure of working with Grace on several occasions, where she has been our Retreat Chef, and each experience has been exceptional. The feedback we consistently receive about her food is nothing short of outstanding.

 Grace brings far more than nourishment; she brings food for the soul. Her cooking, the ethos behind her business, and the calmness and joy she embodies create a deeply enriching experience. This extends not only to the retreat participants, but also to the staff she works alongside and those supporting behind the scenes. It truly is the whole package.

 Grace was an absolute standout in the kitchen. While the food on our retreats is always excellent, what she delivered was genuinely next level—five-star cuisine in every sense. If the meals Grace created had been served in a luxury restaurant, guests would have been delighted. Beyond her culinary skill, she is an inspiring presence and beautifully aligned with our values.

 Another team member described her food as “a different league—like Michelin-starred vegan food in a youth hostel.” What impressed us just as much was her composure and professionalism. When an unexpected issue arose with a cancelled food delivery on her very first retreat, Grace handled the situation with complete calm, adaptability, and grace, while remaining warm and supportive with participants throughout.

 Grace is an inspiration to work alongside. Many of our staff have learned from her, particularly around vegan cooking, and her generosity in sharing knowledge is deeply appreciated.

 Working with Grace elevates the entire retreat experience. We cannot wait to see what our continued collaboration brings in 2026 and beyond, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking exceptional food, professionalism, and a truly aligned, calming presence.”
