Welcome From the Chef
Chef Symon Zorba Matthews
Whole-Food Cook | Ayurvedic-Inspired Chef
Welcome to our retreat. I’m Symon, and it’s my pleasure to nourish you during your stay.
My love for cooking began in Guyana, where I grew up surrounded by vibrant Indigenous food traditions and lively communal kitchens. Food was always a celebration—flavourful, shared, and deeply connected to the land. That early experience still guides everything I create.
After moving to the UK, my curiosity for cooking led me into professional kitchens, where I trained in classical techniques and worked alongside exceptional chefs. Over time, I developed a passion for plant-based cuisine and Ayurvedic principles, exploring how herbs, spices, and whole ingredients can support both health and emotional wellbeing.
Today, my approach is simple:use whole, unrefined foods, cook with intention, and let natural flavours shine.
At the retreat, you can expect meals that are fresh, colourful, plant-forward, and thoughtfully designed to complement your yoga practice and inner journey. My aim is to create food that nourishes your body, uplifts your senses, and supports deep restoration.
Thank you for being here.I look forward to sharing balanced, wholesome meals that help you feel grounded and well.
