Why Choose a Plant-Based Retreat Chef?

Planning holistic meals for a large group can be overwhelming. From grocery shopping to budgeting, the logistics can quickly turn into a daunting task for any retreat host. That’s where I come in! As your dedicated plant-based retreat chef, I’ll handle all the culinary details, allowing you to focus on creating unforgettable experiences for your guests.

Experience You Can Trust

With over a year of hosting my own retreats and catering for groups of 50+ at various events, I specialize in providing delicious, healthy Caribbean meals that nourish both body and soul. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or an extended 5-7 day retreat, I ensure every meal is a feast for the senses.

Delicious, Wholesome Food

My culinary creations are vibrant and packed with flavor, drawing inspiration from my travels and my Afro-Surinamese heritage. I offer an entirely plant-based, dairy-free menu that embraces an ‘Ital’ all-natural lifestyle, ensuring every dish is as nourishing as it is delicious.

Sample Menu Highlights:

  • Breakfast: Start your day with a refreshing tea and a colorful fruit buffet, plus customizable options like smoothies, porridge, or pancakes.

  • Lunch: Enjoy a selection of hearty, flavorful soups.

  • Dinner: Dive into the full Ital experience with five delightful sides, plus the option for a two-course meal that includes a delectable dessert.

I love to join my guests for dinner, sharing not just food but also stories and cooking tips, making every meal an opportunity for connection.

Tailored to Your Needs

My cooking philosophy prioritizes overall well-being—physical, emotional, and mental health—ensuring that each dish is created for the soul. I’m happy to tailor my meals to accommodate allergies or personal preferences, ensuring everyone leaves satisfied.

Costing Made Simple

Retreat packages are customized based on the number of guests, meal frequency, and food preferences. For larger groups with intricate meal plans, I’ll bring along a kitchen assistant to ensure everything runs smoothly. Plus, I offer cooking demos as an exciting add-on!

Read what some of my customers had to say..

“The food is absolutely amazing and tasteful! I’m very busy so these meals are a great solution for me. A lot of variety and I don’t even miss meat or fish”.

“Mygella has completely exceeded our expectations. With a small group we were able to enjoy making plant-based dishes. Very controlled and organized she started working with us in the kitchen and we were allowed to eat the food together. Biggest lesson: follow your intuition. Love it! Thanks, Mygella! A great motivation and I'm already looking forward to the meal plans”.

Rheyna 2022

“I really liked the cooking session. Since that day I eat 90% less meat. Haha. It was a boost for consuming healthier. Easy dishes but tasty and healthy. And the way you set the table, I just loved it!”

Sharoma 2022

I was excited to give Ital Momma meal preps a try. I had been following for a while and they looked so good on insta.


Contact with her was easy and friendly- she went out of her way to make adjustments to my meal that befitted my personal situation.

The meals were delivered at the agreed time by a kind lady - well packaged with a little extra complimentary sweet treat.
Perfect size packaging to easily stack in the freezer.

Once I heated up the meal I was curious- meals looked simple and I was wondering whether there would be enough flavor.


I was honestly blown away. How she gets dishes that I thought I knew so well ( with a surinamese background) so flavorful that it took them to the next level is enviable.


I think of myself as a pretty decent cook but I wouldn’t know how to pack those flavors into my dishes even if I tried. This is what distinguishes a home cook from an expert. Highly recommend”.
