Bettina here. I am a self-taught chef and a hugely passionate advocate for plants. I specialise in plant-based (vegan) and free-from recipe development for brands and the hospitality industry and also within food advancement. I have written two cookbooks, Happy Food and 7 Day Vegan Challenge, and this is my third. I work freelance and run Health & Wellness Retreats as a Retreat Chef. I also run my Retreat Chef Academy where I teach all these food concepts along with sustainability and waste-free principles, which, as a Retreat Chef, you adopt right from the get-go. I am passionate about unravelling the potential of plant foods and the free-from area by establishing easy and basic principles that incorporate seasonality and local produce – food that makes you feel good, is grown within the seasons, and nurtured by people who care.
