Dedicated, professional and so attentive to every detail. This is my Catarina, who has accompanied me for a few months with great patience and affection. I don't know if the affection I have for her is for the passionate way she exercises her profession, if it is for the person herself. I couldn't have "gotten" a better nutritionist. Thank you to Mercado do Campo for giving me the advice! She is really top!

You really have to try one of ZenCook’s workshops. Everything is amazing: besides learning a lot, you get to know lots of secrets and tips. Catarina is so sweet, kind and always willing to teach so many things about the ingredients: which ones are the best, where to buy them… Everything you need to know, mainly when you are a beginner - just like me. Thank you, Catarina, you know so much and, yet you remain humble.

I was Catarina’s assistant on one of the workshops imparted by her and I simply loved the experience! She cooked incredible delicious dishes! I remember it as a great, relaxed day, and I can’t forget the fine healthy food. Really healthy! I’m going to do it again – hopefully!

Delicious food and extremely various too. Catarina takes vegan meals to the next level. If people could try it all biases about vegan be boring and not tasty will fall apart. And being Italian and not vegan I'm quite demanding :-)

This lady cooks with so much love and passion... and inspires to try different things at home. The food is delicious. Her smile melts your heart. When I wasn't feeling well I sat outside the kitchendoor and her kind words and listening to her cooking and singing comforted me. She's a true Zencook... and in my heart.

I had the privilege of being at a private event where Catarina was the chef. The genuineness, joy, dedication and sensitivity with which she received us was showed in what came next: The most pleasurable and abundant meal in which the refinement, the variety, the combination of flavors elevated me to the ecstasy of feeling nourished in a careful and healthy way. I loved it.

Catarina's cooking was one of the best things about my retreat! It really made the experience so special. I have never eaten such delicious, nourishing meals. Thank you Catarina ❤

I enjoyed getting to know Catarina and savoring her delicious and amazing meals at a recent Ibiza retreat. She put so much care and love and thought into the food, and she’s very creative! We all wanted to hire her as our personal chef! If you’re holding a retreat and you want a chef who is good-natured, dedicated, and talented, reach out to Catarina!

I went on a retreat in Ibiza last week and was lucky to enjoy the food prepared by Catarina. You can see the love she puts in preparing the food. Everyday a different meal with different kind of flavors and all were super delicious. Besides her skills to be an amazing chef she is also a very nice and friendly person which made the experience of a healthy yoga retreat complete.

Catarina is amazing! I had the pleasure of having her as the chef at our retreat and it was such a treat! Her food is tasty, nutritious, a joy for the eye and comes with a big variety! She has a big heart and love for food and people and that is reflected in the delicious meals! Thank you so much! ❤

Catarina was our superstar chef on our recent retreat in Ibiza, and we want her to work on all of our future retreats now! She was an absolute angel (a very hard-working one at that), cooking three delicious meals everyday for 19 people, while shining full of light, love, and relaxation (zen would be an accurate description). She was so easy to work with, flexible, diligent, and sweet. I recommend her highly to anyone who cares about having high-vibe food prepared in a high-vibe way. ❤

Wow... simply Wow. Not only is the food amazing, but the heart of the owner is felt in all of her yummy creations. Highly Recommend. If I could, I would out bid anyone to make her my private chef.

Wow... not only a delightful person but a wizard in the kitchen. I was recently at a retreat in Ibiza and we were so privileged to have Katerina preparing our meals. We were a group of 19 and the food was absolutely delicious, satisfying, varied and clearly made with love. Thank you so much! Xx

Catarina was nurturing not only our body but also our soul during a Yoga Retreat in Ibiza last October. She cooks like and angel and she is also a lovely person. Looking forward to have the chance to meet you again and eat some of your delicious food creations. All the best Catarina!!

Fantastic food and energy!

When i signed up for the retreat where Ana Catarina cooked for us I never could have expected that the food would play such a huge role in the success (and my enjoyment) of the retreat. What she is able to do in the kitchen is pure magic to me! What lovely flavours, vibrant colours, delicious smells. So many glutenfree, vegan, healthy dishes! And ofcourse Ana Catarina herself is just a wonderful person. So sweet, kind and smart! I wish her all the best with ZenCook and in life, and hope to see her again one day.

Yesterday I had the chance of participating in the amazing workshop given by Catarina. I simply LOVED it! I learned a lot, I got to know new foods I had never heard about, I took part in the preparation of several dishes. Everyone was sharing their own experiences, there was a very positive atmosphere. Dinner was DELICIOUS, with lots of different dishes. Dessert? It was simply divine! An experience I’d like to go through again, no doubt. I am sure Catarina has a brilliant future ahead her: she’s a very sweet young woman with loads of creativity. A great nutrition expert! THANK YOU, Catarina!

Having Catarina as chef at my retreat here in Ibiza was the perfect addition and made the experience whole for everyone who joined. Intentional nourishment for body through her food, nourishment for the soul and mind with our workshops and yoga lessons was the perfect mix. I highly recommend booking her for your retreat. ❤   

Zencook was the chef at the yoga retreat I joined on Ibiza. My diet is very specific (glutenfree and vegan) but she made delicious and surprising dishes everyday! Loved her food and personality. A very friendly chef who knows what she's doing. Although the retreat wasn't totally vegan and glutenfree she knew how to make some dishes special and dietproof. Especially loved the ricedishes and her absolutely stunning desserts (apple cinnamoncake) I felt nourished and healthy after every meal . Thank you Catarina.

I had the chance to have her as our chef in a retreat in Ibiza. The other participants said she is very good, but they were wrong... She is absolutely MAGICAL (literally)! In fact, not only Caterina is a great person, friendly and surprising, but she also accomplished a miracle: in spite of the fact that I strongly hate green peas since I was 6 (last time they forced me to eat them I puked), she has been able to cook them in such a way that I found them delicious! (and I couldn't believe it!). It definitely is the result of the passion and love she put in what she does. I recommend her without any reserve. Her cooking is mesmerizing and She is more than fantastic! Absolutely great! Choose her for any event and don't look back!
