Holidays they still talk about
“Lara is INCREDIBLE. We had her cook for a retreat of 11 of us, and she blew us away with her delicious, nourishing dishes. She accommodated dietary needs with so much thought, making every single guest feel so special. We will be booking her again and again!”
“Five star service and food! We were in Pals for a week as a group of 6 adults and 7 children… Chef Lara made our adult dinner night so special. Stand-outs were the rock mussels and gambas. A total pro who set up everything and tidied up perfectly.”
“Lara cooked the most exceptional meal for our party of 7, to celebrate two big birthdays. The food was beautifully plated and delicious, with a fascinating range of flavours. She explained each dish, its origin and where the ingredients were sourced.”
