More Than a Cooking Retreat - A Complete Experience
“Thank you so much Veet for such a special weekend in your tranquil home. From the moment we arrived for our cooking and creating retreat, we felt so welcome and at home.
The weekend was well thought out and organised with a thorough learning plan. The independent private accommodation was provided downstairs with all necessary amenities and was very comfortable.
We really enjoyed the whole learning process, preparation of ingredients, plating the food, and sharing the fruits of our labours together with Veet and Mak, in such a gorgeous and relaxing environment.
Thank you for the wide options of food menus and supporting our choices of Ethiopian, Indian and Vietnamese. Incredible!
We loved all the complex meals we made, with an array of spice blends and fresh, local, organic ingredients. Practicing more fermenting was a highlight to honing our skills.
The free time on the Sunday meant we could have a picnic with the lunch we prepared overlooking the pacific ocean.
We appreciated the time Mak took to share his knowledge of knife sharpening skills with us.
Veet perfectly scheduled in tea breaks throughout the day to taste the food we prepared. It was very relaxing to eat, sit and chat outside while listening to the birds with the mountains in the distance.
It was amazing the amount of recipes we prepared in a short amount of time in a very calm and efficient environment with Veet’s comprehensive kitchen. Veet even made a detailed portfolio of all the recipes we made with accompanying photos.
The copious amounts of food prepared allowed us to not only have lunch on the plane on the way home, but stock our fridge for the week.”
We look forward to our next retreat and highly recommend to all.
