Our food: concept and guidelines

We see the food we eat as the primary way of gaining and maintaining a healthy body and mind. Each ingredient forming a part of our recipes and our dishes ends up forming a part of our bodies.
In our kitchen, we use vegetarian, and to the biggest extent organic, local and seasonal ingredients. We avoid processed food in favor of ingredients that still have their natural properties intact.

We cook our food with maximum respect, to avoid destroying enzymes and nutrients. For this reason, we usually use the dehydrator, slow heat, or a wok. We always keep the different macronutrients in mind, to create dishes and combining the ingredients that are easy on the digestive system and that will flood your system with live food.

Plant based & healthy food

We can offer vegan options, as well as diets adapted to gluten free or dairy free diets or keeping in mind other food intolerances.
In our retreat we exclude the following ingredients:

  • Refined sugar. Instead, we offer healthier options with a lower glycemic index (GI).
  • Italian pasta with gluten.
  • White or refined flour. We use alternatives with very little or no gluten, such as xeixa (a local variety of ancient grain), buckwheat, rice and quinoa.
  • Margarine. We make our own nut butters of almonds and hazelnuts, following a recipe you can easily make yourself at home.
  • Processed/industrial products.
  • Fried and breaded food.
  • Meat, fish, cold-cuts and canned food.

…clean and conscious diet

However, our food does include delicious spices, organically grown aromatic herbs, mushrooms, algaes, seeds, nuts and legumes.
During the week-long retreat you will be able to see and feel for yourself how a clean and conscious diet increases your well-being, helping your body eliminate toxins and toning your organism with important nutrients.
