I loved getting back in the kitchen today, feeding lots of beautiful yogis at the stunning Spring Day Retreat 💛🔆 always an absolute pleasure! Stepping into a new version of me is exciting! My baby is almost one (which is wild and needs to slow down) and I’m enjoying creating again, I’m here to create and creating nourishing foods is up there for me! Witnessing happiness with my food is joyous 🔆 I didn’t get many pics as everyone was delightfully tucking in.

Thank you so much for having me 🌸🌸🌸

Heyyyy 🌻

I did my first lot of organic food creating of 2025 and this one was for a little ladies 5th Birthday party (not my usual retreat) but her parents wanted an organic birthday cake and organic buffet with no nasties so I fit the job description 🤙🏼

Unfortunately I didn’t get pics of everything else as all the while, I had my baby boy on my back 💚

Creation wise - all organic ingredients
• Vanilla (all butter) sponge with vanilla buttercream (coloured with organic beeetroot powder) & dressed with edible flowers
• a huge pot of bolognaise
• garlic & herb pasta
• roasted garlic, broccolini & butternut quinoa
• salad & fruit platters
• Miller’s raw cacao slices

Big shout out to parents wanting to feed their children organic and clean party foods without all the processed s**t, without all the toxic colourings and E numbers that really do mess with their developing brains!

You know that I’m all for real foods, foods grown organically, with care, without poison and stay well clear of nasty seed oils. I’m no baker but I’m proud of this cake that fed lots of little mouthes and didn’t destroy their guts.

Happy Sunday & big love 💚

2025! After lots of time away, next year I’ll be back in the kitchen ready to cook up lots of nourishment. I’m taking it slow and keeping it fortnightly for the time being.

I’ll be down for collections with available deliveries throughout Darwen & surrounding areas.

Hey wholesome fam 💛

I’ve been having a few enquiries for next year so I’ve decided to open the diary. I will be moving away to Australia at some point but it’s a lengthy process so I’m going to open the diary on a quarterly basis. I can be available from January for day retreat catering but wouldn’t be able to do full weekend retreats as I’m breastfeeding and my baby will need me (unless there’s a family lodge where we can all come for the weekend). But one off & full day events I’m available.

So for now Jan up to May my diary is open. Come spring I have cooking events happening too which I will share with you all and will be collaborating with some wonderful talents.

If you have an event and want some wholesome organic goodness serving up, from high mineral ancestral to vegan, give us a shout 🍵

Big love
Vic 🤎

Nourished Womban

The transition into Motherhood the one of the most sacred experiences of life. From growing a baby, travelling through the birth vortex into a whole new space of the unknown. Support in this time can determine a healthy or depleted postpartum. Nourishing the Mother is such a beautiful, important role. Some don’t know where to start and it’s not rocking up to hold the baby! It can be as simple as a wholesome meal, herbal teas, healing bathing blends, taking siblings out, washing the dishes & offering an listening ear to any challenges arising. Postpartum gifts are a beautiful way to show your love & support through such an expansive transition of life for new mothers.

I want to help people support new mothers, with beautiful postpartum packages, gathered & put together with love, filled with abundance that will hold new mamas through this sacred journey.

The package contains
3 organic high mineral meals (dietary requirements fully catered)
2 herbal salt baths (sitz)
4 organic high mineral sweet treats
1 500ml organic healing milk
1 organic healing balm
Organic lavender bunch

Put together in a biodegradable bamboo basket with an organic Muslin cloth 🧺

If you’re a husband, partner, family member or friend to a new mama or mama to be, this is a beautiful offering of love & deep honouring of Motherhood ✨🌀✨

We see you mamas 💛

Hey 👋🏼

It’s been a while, it’s so good to see you all again 🧡 I had all the intentions of getting my ebook out during pregnancy but I was keeping all of my energy for me during such a tender time. I’m slowly getting back into the swing of things, flowing with a beautiful rhythm with my little tribe and my passion for food is shining it’s way through once again, especially this season and through winter as I’m totally here for all the hearty wholesomeness. So my ebook will be finished this Autumn 🙌🏼 I promise! I’ve had lots of messages and so it will be ready for you, to nourish yourselves with ease throughout these coming cold months.

Lots of my soups, stews, broths, curry’s & one pots, all high mineral, meat based and I’ll also be doing a vegan add on for my vegan friends with all the faves from Freedom Organics ✌🏼

I’ll be sending out the first ebook to a lucky winner ✨ for the chance to win…

just like, share & tag who you think would love a book of nourishing goodness 🍵

See you really sooooooon 🥘

Big big love 🧡
Vic ✌🏼

Hey everyone,

I thought I’d update you all, after stepping away from work commitments whilst journeying through a wild pregnancy, we have been blessed with our Sunshine babe, 🌞 Sol 🌞

Our little boy, freebirthed at home, on international homebirth day & my gosh he really is sunshine. We are abundant & filled with pure love, joy & happiness 💙

I won’t be returning to work for some time, I’ll be soaking up these golden months with my little family 💛

is still running & venue bookings open but myself cooking/catering & facilitating sound sessions are on hold until I’m ready.

Thank you all for your ongoing support,

Love
Vic ✨

Hello everyone,

it’s been some time as I’ve been fully immersing in this beautiful pregnancy, nourishing myself and just living the life of a homeschooling, homemaking mama, nurturing my family. I have now picked up a couple of projects which I feel that I can give a slice of my energy to for the next couple of months before retreating into my birth and rebirth space.

After lots of nudges recently and for many years really, something that I have put off because not having the time or knowledge of logistics, I am now ready to get one of hopefully many of my ebooks finished and out to you all.

I get lots of you asking for help with recipes and people that just want wholesome, nourishing food made easy and as I’m slowing down on the physical catering this makes sense to get started, but also to be able to help people find their love for food and nourishing their families and just how simple and incredibly satisfying that is.

So my 1st ebook will be ready and available on Amazon in the next coming weeks which I’m so excited about. This ebook contains some of my favourite warming one pots, dreamy desserts and lots of information on soaking to minimise anti-nutrients, instructions for high mineral bone broths and tips on how to get these essential minerals into our little ones. I’ll also share with you some amazing ethical companies that I use who go above and beyond on health and sustainability.

I’m really looking forward to joining you in your kitchen where I can hopefully make life that little simpler, for not just busy mamas but anyone who wants no bulls**t, real food, from scratch which will nourish on every level.

Big love
Vic
