Cooking Team
Lina is working with a talented team of cooks for events, each that adds its unique specialty.
What other says about our Chef Services…
”Un immense merci à Lina et son équipe qui ont fortement contribué à la réussite de nos 40 ans. Nous n’avons eu que des commentaires ultra positifs sur le dîner qui a été servi à nos 60 invités : des produits excellents, des saveurs originales, beaucoup ont été surpris de voir à quel point un repas principalement végétarien pouvait être aussi bon. Mention spéciale (entre autres) aux carottes rôties et au gâteau au chocolat!
On a choisi de faire confiance à Lina et nous n’avons pas été déçus. C’est une vraie artiste qui, en plus de ses talents de cuisinière et sa créativité, a un vrai sens du beau. Sa forte capacité d’adaptation et sa bonne humeur à tout épreuve ont été très appréciables.
Si vous voulez partager une dîner (ou plutôt une expérience) inoubliable, faites appel à elle!”

“Nous avons vécu une formidable expérience culinaire avec Lina, des plats aussi beaux que bons.
Lina nous a régalé avec un buffet de produit frais de saison, qu'elle va chercher chez ses petits producteurs, on sent la passion qui l'anime dans toutes ses préparations. Merci !”
- Sylvie, Bordeaux, France
“Lina accompanied our 2-day team offsite event in Austria and led us through two cooking classes with menus specially designed for us. She also guided our team through her wonderful Balade Intuitive in the surrounded woods. Lina is simply enchanting and was a great pleasure to work with. She came up with beautiful ideas that I was able to incorporate into the planning. Thank you Lina for the beautiful energy you brought into our event! I´m very happy to continue working with you in the future. Lots of love, Gloria xxx”
- Gloria, Head of Product Development & Marketing, LOTUSCRAFTS, Munich Germany
“I have been holding retreats in the French Alps with Lina as the chef for four years. Each time I am amazed at the effort, love and joy that Lina brings to her profession. The people who join are always amazed at her knowledge, her passion and her willingness to share her time answering questions.
I can't recommend Lina more highly!”
- Luke Bache, Ur true nature wellness retreats, Stockholm Sweden
“Working with Lina is the greatest pleasure and blessing. Not only is her presence an absolute joy to have on retreat, but her cooking is beyond extraordinary. Every single meal is a feast for all the senses... her combination of colours and flavours, textures and scents is to-live-for, and her presentation is that of a true artist. She plates up every dish with deep love and respect for the produce, showcasing their beauty and nutrition, which is then savoured with every mouthful. Lina is also an incredible source of local knowledge, from naturopathic remedies, to edible flowers to the best bread and cheese of the region. She is an exceptional asset to have on any retreat and I couldn't recommend her heart, taste buds, intuitive mind and artful hands more highly!”
- Lara Zilibowitz, Art of Being Retreats, Body Poetry Yoga Trainings, Byron Bay Australia
"Les plats de Lina sont un délice. On se sent nourri par la qualité de sa cuisine mais aussi par la beauté des présentations! Sa cuisine est le reflet de son magnifique sourire qu'elle arbore constamment! Un vrai rayon de douceur."
- Cecile Roubaud, Yin Yoga Teacher training, France
“We own a Boutique resort in the Mentawai Islands Indonesia.
We were looking for some new vegan ideas to improve our menu and Lina helped us to create and implement a new menu. She spent a full month with us in the island and we have loved the work she did!
We really suggest her services as she is a really professional person and lovely to work with.”
- Aimar Abilleira, Awera Resort, Mentawai (Indonesia)
“We've know Lina for just over a year through her creations at Providence Guéthary. When we decided to get married there was only one name that came to mind to ask if she would be up for cooking a plant based family meal for us. We wanted Lina because of her sensitivity to food in creating a conscious plate. After a few messages back and forth Lina suggested a beautiful seasonal and local vegetarian menu. Lina managed to bring her unique personal approach and deliver us an unforgettable family meal. Each delicious dish thoughtfully put together and were passed round the table from person to person bringing two families together for the first time. Anyone lucky enough to work with Lina for a private event will be part of a unforgettable time.”
- James & Fanny , Biarritz, FRANCE
“Lina has cooked on a number of my retreats in the French Alps, and she is truly something special. I have run many retreats (over 40!) and so have had a lot of experience with wonderful chefs and caterers. For me, there is so much that makes Lina stand out from the rest. First and most importantly it’s her calm, warm nurturing energy. This is the energy that goes into people’s food. Her meals taste like deep, nurturing love on a cellular level.
She cooks seasonally, buys locally, is a creator and visionary and has an exquisite eye for flavours, detail and presentation.
Lina is very professional and always gets meals made on time, making the flow of the retreat feel seamless and effortless. She is a kind, direct and clear communicator (very important when working with someone!). I couldn’t admire and be inspired by her more!”
- Brooke Elliston, Yoga teacher, Australia
“La présentation et la table tous les soirs, pleines de bonnes choses étaient déjà un délice pour les yeux. Ensuite j’ai vraiment apprécié que les repas soient fait avec des légumes de saison qui sont vraiment pas « les plus funs » à proposer : la mission a été parfaitement remplie. Beaucoup de choses maisons : le pain, le muesli, la purée d’amande… c’est tellement agréable et meilleur. Je suis contente d’avoir goûté à des choses nouvelles pour moi, toujours délicieuses, ça m’a ouvert d’autres perspectives dans la nourriture végé. Enfin les desserts étaient à tomber par terre !!!”
- Mathilde, Annecy, Participant de Stage HIGHLINE FLOW, France
“Je suis convaincue par son professionnalisme, son sérieux, sa ponctualité, son efficacité et sa créativité. Lina est une personne responsable, qui respecte ses engagements, et qui a mis sa cuisine créative et son expertise en naturopathie au service de notre restaurant avec grand succès. Sa renommée et son implication lui permettent de réussir tous les projets qu’elle entreprend. C’est une personne fiable que je recommande sans hésiter!”
- Caroline Piechaud, owner of Providence Guethary
“”Lina has an artist’s eye for detail, texture, flavor and masterful presentation!””
“J’ai beaucoup aimé la cuisine de Lina, très saine, local et de saison, j’ai vraiment apprécié l’effort et le travail pour créer de si bons repas. Le fait de savoir qu’un bon epas nous attendez à chaque fois était vraiment très agréable. Cela a fait partie intégrante du stage!”
