“Sal catered for my yoga retreat in Kent… I was delighted with my choice and so were my guests. Sal has such a passion for food and is keen to source as much produce from the local area. With me running a retreat, she was mindful of my guests dietary requirements, so that we all ate the same meal rather than serving a different meal to somebody who had a food intolerance. I felt that was really nice for the group to have a shared culinary experience.
The food she served was amazing and my guests could not stop gushing - they were completely in love with her food. It was nutritious, delicious and satisfying. In fact, they said they would only come on my next retreat if Sal catered for it! Of course I wouldn’t hesitate to collaborate with her again.”

Being an intuitive chef is about widening the lens when we look at our relationship with food, beyond its nutritional value and it’s basic purpose to provide us with fuel. My mission is to elevate the mental and spiritual impact our relationship with food and cooking has on our lives to the same level as the physical, nutritional side. It’s about the importance of honouring mind, body and soul in our food by reconnecting to the joy of food and cooking. You can find out more about the journey that led to me becoming The Food Witch here.
My food is a true reflection of me and my love of intuitively curated eating. I cook from the heart and soul, tailoring menus, dishes and the entire experience to you, the environment and the seasons. Inspired by a multicultural heritage, London upbringing and amazing local seasonal producers—intuition-led and mindfully created from a place of love. I don’t believe in good vs. bad foods, diet culture or restrictive eating. I cook and teach from a perspective of abundance, intuition and faith—that we can have a fearless, joyful, affirming relationship with food by being empowered to make better decisions, by adding to the breadth and depth of our diet rather than restricting specific foods and by honouring our emotional and spiritual needs rather than suppressing them. When I cook, I offer a unique experience that goes way beyond delicious eating to a place of connection to something much greater.
