Over the Easter long weekend I was privileged to cater for an inspiring African drumming and dance retreat 🥁. Next year I want to go as a guest 🙈. Other than cooking 5 meals a day for over 40 people I also had the chance to play the drums and dance African dance 💃🏻. I love that my job takes me to beautiful places and connects me with inspiring communities ❤️. it was a pleasure catering at your annual retreat 🙏🏻

Bonjour Morocco 🇲🇦. What are you doing next Sunday the 31st of July? I’m so excited to invite you to my next retrEAT in the stunning yoga studio In Casablanca 💃🏻. It’s a very spontaneous decision that came from my passion to share my love for food, well-being and everything in between with the people of my Grandmother land, Morocco ❤️
I would love you to reconnect, retrEAT and recharge with vegan food, movement, breath, conversation, new friends and much more 🥰. The beautiful will lead a gentle Hatha yoga class to move the energy in our bodies and connect to the breath. I will share with you my cooking and food philosophy and will teach you some cooking tips and tricks.
You will learn how to make vegan dips from scratch and how to create (and eat 🤤) my famous “Grazing board” which is a piece of art that is always a crowd pleaser. Are you in? If yes please DM or email me your contact details at zeesloveinajar@gmail.com to secure your spot. 🧚🏻‍♀️ Can’t wait

Happy Friyay lovers ❤️. How do you squeeze into a short clip a full day at Zee’s retrEAT?
I tried my best!
Our Saturday started with heavy rain which kept all the sunrise chasers in bed.
As the host, I needed to follow through and get out there hoping for some sunrise action.
As I stepped out with my raincoat the rain stopped and I have been rewarded with the most amazing sunrise 🌅 and joined me for some barefoot walk to ground ourselves 🦶 Then the day-trippers joined us and we had a full house.
We started with Shakshuka eggs cooking class followed by breakfast served with fresh salad and labane cheese that we learned how to make the day before.
After breakfast some of the lucky guests had bodywork and naturopathy session with the amazing 🍃 we continue the day with a grazing board master class where we learned how to make dips from scratch using products and get creative with putting it together 🍇. Then I had the privilege to share my Moroccan heritage recipes and we cooked Moroccan fish with chickpeas and potatoes, couscous, beetroot salad, carrots salad & fennel and orange salad.
Before digging into it we had a blissful yoga class by the pool with the very inspiring Sasha from .australia 🧘🏻‍♀️. Then we had our Moroccan feast 😋 for dessert we had the vegan 🌱 “cheesecake” we made earlier 🍰. In between, we danced, swam, chilled by the pool, connect, play, laugh, sing and had the best time. At the end of the night, the day-trippers left with full bellies, big smiles, new friendships, new recipes ideas and so much more.
On Sunday morning we all watched the sunrise and Did some starches by the lake. We learned how to make breakfast out of “nothing” from the leftovers we had. We had our last swim at the pool which was so inspiring to watch some of our diving in the water for the first time, some learn how to jump in and some learn a new swimming style. What an amazing weekend it was 🥰 my heart is full and I can’t wait to do it again!

Happy weekend lovers ❤️. This is a snapshot of last Friday's afternoon's cooking class at my retrEAT. We put our hair up with hair bands and got into the kitchen 👩🏻‍🍳
In under two hours, We cooked stuffed capsicum with rice, veggies, pine nuts, herbs and of course Zee’s love in a jar preserved lemon, paprika oil and Shakshuka sauce (save the time of making a sauce).
We also made tamari almonds, bliss balls, avocado chocolate mousse (vegan, sugar/gluten-free), my famous cauliflower with Zee’s love in a jar paprika oil drizzled with tahini dressing, pomegranate and herbs, big fresh salad and crunchy greens 🥬. In between, we dance to Zee’s love in a jar playlist on 💃🏻. We even managed to watch the sunset by the lake 🥰. Looking back at the photos no wonder my guests felt overloaded with information 🤓. Saturday was the biggest cooking day plus we had Sasha from .australia teaching us yoga by the pool 🧘🏻‍♀️. To be continued…. If you would like to join my next retrEAT get in touch as I’m looking at future dates ❤️

If you know me you know that I was manifesting “Zee’s retrEAT” for a very long time.
It’s almost happened in July but then I needed to postpone as we got into another lockdown.
“Trust” is the biggest lesson for me as when I finally host my retrEAT last weekend it was exactly what I wanted it to be.
Create a safe welcoming space for people to reconnect, recharge and retrEAT through food, cooking class, breath, laughter, conversation, yoga, stillness, journaling and more.
I’m still buzzing and floating from the energy I received by giving.
There is so much I would like to share so let me start from the beginning…
I was lucky enough to have beautiful accommodation at Balcolyn which my dear friend Amit Padhiar owns as an Airbnb (highly recommended) it’s a 5 bedrooms house with a pool and a lot of space to hang around. I love gifting my guests a gift bag and was lucky enough to have a powerhouse of businesswomen who donated their products and services! Thank you I also gave my shakshuka sauce and a journal 📓 thank you Debbie for the beautiful flowers 💐 I made delicious ice tea as a welcome drink 🍹 and we hang out at the pool as it was a stunning afternoon. The little video is the first hour of my guests at my retrEAT before we pulled up our sleeves and got into the kitchen for some cooking class 👩🏻‍🍳 we already felt connected ❤️. I couldn’t do it without my wingwomen Mariana Diniz Jin Suk O Stef Letang 😍😍😍

You can’t see in this photo any food, cooking, yoga, Zee’s love in a jar product, sunrise, sunset or anything that you would expect to see at my retrEAT.
But this photo is EVERYTHING I wanted my retrEAT to be about. Human beings connect over a cooking class regardless of how old they are, their skin colour, their culture, language, sexual identity, religion or anything that make them “us” and “them”.
In this photo, you can see showing mum how to use hairband correctly on her head (one of many gifts I gifted my guests). “Real queens fix each other’s crowns” moment 👸🏻
I can’t wait to share with you photos from my retrEAT but first I need to finish unloading my car 🤓. I’m incredibly grateful for the experience 🥰
