I’m Tania, a passionate plant-based chef dedicated to creating wholesome, vibrant meals inspired by nature and travel.

My cooking celebrates seasonal fruits and vegetables, honouring the beauty and abundance of the earth. Each dish I make is an exploration of flavour, balance, and creativity — designed to nourish the body and uplift the spirit.

I love to grow my own produce and bring that connection to the table, turning every meal into a celebration of mindful, sustainable living. My approach is open and joyful: food as a bridge between nature, community, and self.

"Tania is absolutely incredible at what she does! We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to provide us with delicious, nourishing meals. Her food was always beautifully presented and she incorporated traditional dishes and food grown from her own garden! You can tell how much passion went into the cooking. Every dish was just gorgeous and almost looked too good to eat! I felt fulfilled and my body felt amazing everyday after Tania’s cooking. She served every meal with the warmest smile and beautiful energy. Very grateful for your food and lovely presence."

"I had the pleasure of enjoying Tania's cooking during a yoga retreat in Sweden. Tania herself is such a shining light - really kind and fun to be around. All participants agreed that the food was one of the biggest highlights of our week. Each meal was so thoughtfully created with different themes and cuisines, all of it was beautifully presented, utterly delicious, and really healthy on top. I was so delighted by the food, I've asked whether Tania can cater my wedding as well. I would highly recommend Tania and Root to Soul to anyone looking for a caterer or cook in any capacity. 100/10"

"Wow wow wow! I just finished hosting a retreat and feel SUPER lucky to have had Tania with us for the week preparing our meals! They were all absolutely delightful!!! So colourful, nourishing and much of it even grown herself in her garden! Every single guest (all 12 of us) were amazed by the flavours and presentation of the food. I would absolutely 100% reccomend having Tania at your retreat and will 100% be working with her again! Thank you Tania
