MELANIA, MACROBIOTIC CHEF

For the past 3 years, Melania and I have been collaborating and became good friends. As a macrobiotic chef, she creates colorful vegetarian meals from farm to table sourced at her permaculture farm. Each dish is a work of art, decorated with colorful flowers that reflect her passion for nature and mindful living. Growing up in a nonconventional Italian family, Melania embraced macrobiotic principles early on, believing that our food shapes our thoughts and emotions. She also is a dedicated yoga practitioner and teacher, Discover more about her inspiring work here.

FAQ

  • Lisbon is the nearest airport. On request, we can provide you with a taxi from the airport (1 hour journey, around 100 euros in total that is usually split between participants).

  • Flights, transportation from airport, massages and treatments, additional snacks, rental cars, last dinner out etc.

  • Choose your room, and then contact Chloé via the contact form or at chloe.taranto@gmail.com to confirm your participation. Your place will be secured after payment of a 50% deposit, and the total balance will be payable a maximum of 2 months before arrival by bank transfer.

  • The deposit is non-refundable, so we advise you to take out travel insurance. We may exceptionally be forced to cancel a departure if the minimum number of participants is not reached.

  • Macrobiotics is a holistic approach that connects us to Mother Earth and its energies, promoting healing for the mind, body, and soul. By aligning with the cycles of life and the seasons, we can achieve greater balance through our food choices and cooking methods. The energy of what we eat impacts us nutritionally and energetically, enhancing our vitality and relationships.
