I’m a passionate and experienced retreat chef based in Asker, Norway, and I’m always happy to travel wherever my cooking is needed. With many years of experience in catering and a deep love for food culture and high-quality ingredients, I create nourishing, colorful, and flavorful meals that bring people together and support a sense of well-being.

I trained at the Retreat Chef Academy in London with Bettina, where I deepened my understanding of how thoughtfully prepared food can support presence, recovery, and balance during a retreat. My cooking style combines solid culinary skills with an intuitive and creative approach, always with attention to taste, color, and harmony.

Beyond the kitchen, I’m known for being warm, social, and easy to work with. I value good communication, take responsibility, and can always be relied upon. I enjoy connecting with guests, creating a welcoming atmosphere, and being a supportive part of the retreat team. For me, food is not only about nourishment, but also about care, connection, and creating vibrant, memorable shared experiences

Chef Reviews

“After attending a yoga retreat where Jannike prepared all the meals, I’ve been thinking about her food for almost a year! It is rare to be served such flavorful, artistic dishes. Highly recommended ☀️”

Tina L. Pedersen

As a health-conscious person, I care deeply about both quality and flavor. Jannike’s food gets the highest score in both categories. 🪷 Made from scratch with natural, wholesome ingredients. Healthy and incredibly delicious.”

I had the pleasure of enjoying Jannike’s food on a three-day retreat in Spain. It was amazing, to say the least. The presentation, colors, and variety were so impressive and everything tasted unbelievable. There were so many flavors and choices for everyone. I ate way too much because it was all so good, haha! Each day brought new and exciting dishes, all made with love and passion. We were excited for every meal. I highly recommend Jannike’s catering and can’t wait to taste her food again.”

We are deeply grateful and happy to have Jannike with us on our yoga retreats in Spain. She has been our regular chef since 2022, and we have also engaged her for all four of our yoga retreats in 2026. Jannike is an exceptionally skilled chef who creates delicious, nourishing, and vibrant meals that delight all the senses. She has a unique ability to work with high-quality ingredients and combine exciting flavors. In addition to being a talented chef, Jannike is a true joy to be around. She contributes not only with wonderful food, but also with her sparkling energy and warm presence for everyone attending our yoga retreats. She takes the time to get to know our guests, something both we and our participants truly appreciate. She is inclusive, inspiring to be around, and always reliable. For these reasons, we will continue to engage Jannike for many years to come
