Kate Munro Boot

Cooking food, for Kate, is more than providing sustenance – it's a therapeutic tool, a form of self-expression, and a meals to nourish not just the body but also the mind and soul.

Having travelled the world through her career as a private chef and training in holistic therapies, Kate's philosophy revolves around cooking fresh ingredients, with intention and mindfully.

At retreats, she and her team use as much locally sourced ingredients as the time of year allows, and occasionally foraged ingredients, to create a sensory journey through her dishes.

Kate believes in the power of nature and chooses to create meals centred around plants. If meat or fish is included she uses sustainably and organically sourced ingredients. She joins retreats to add a touch of mindful magic to your experience.

According to Kate, retreats are vulnerable shared experiences, and powerful healing can happen simply sitting across the dinner table.

“I just wanted to say again how much we enjoyed your cooking this weekend. I truly felt like I was feeding my soul, as well as my mind this weekend. The words you spoke before each meal really stuck with me and made the experience all the more memorable (as did your healthy take on snickers desert!) Can't thank you enough and can't wait for your book! Lots of 💕, Amanda x”

I was so inspired with my time with you Cabilla at the weekend. I have gone from someone who would cry at the monotony and resentment at feeding 3 teens to someone who has had music on, dancing, involving the kids, adding colours and truly appreciating the fact I have a beautiful family, with food on the table and a joy to connect to this earth through food.

Well, where to start!!
I must admit I had high expectations for your food… but I had no idea how much you would surpass them and more. And beyond your nourishing cooking that you, your warmth, your generosity, your balance of focus and lols would be so integral in the whole retreat experience both for me and for all the guests.
At the risk of girl crushing… I hope you know how unique and talented you are because I was blown away by the way you work and felt so inspired but that quiet confidence you exude. So flipping awesome. And the food… well I think it was pretty clear what we all thought of it, next level incredible.
Anyway, this is just a short, intense and heartfelt thank you. Plus would love to hang out sometime soon when the stars align for it :)
Sending a big hug and hope you’re having a gentle week,
Kath

Hi Kate x I wanted to thank you again for the amazing experience I had at Cabilla the other weekend - it meant so much that you took the time and effort and thought to accommodate my allergy.
You have inspired me so much with your food - to the extent that I’ve already made lots of positive changes for me and my family - just this morning I mad nut free granola!

I thank you so much for the truly delicious and tasty food you provided for a weekend at Cabilla. Stunningly presented- the colours, freshness, variations, and so much more I cannot even put it into words. You are truly amazing with love Caroline xxx
