Farah as your
holistic retreat chef  

Ik geloof in de kracht van natuurlijke voeding. Voeding als medicijn, maar ook als manier om mensen met elkaar te verbinden. Goed voor jezelf en moeder natuur zorgen, zijn voor mij de voornaamste beweegredenen om op een grotendeels plantaardige en natuurlijke basis te koken. Daarnaast vind ik het heerlijk om mensen met elkaar te verbinden aan een lange tafel met eten. 

Organiseer jij binnenkort een retraite in Italië en wil jij dat jouw deelnemers in de watten worden gelegd met heerlijke en voedende maaltijden? Het catering gedeelte geheel overdragen aan een professional, waardoor je zelf hier geen omkijken meer naar hebt? Of huur jij een villa en zoek je nog een kok die alle maaltijden verzorgt? Dan ben je bij Farah’s Table aan het goede adres. Ik maak een passend menu, verzorg alles rondom de catering en zorg ervoor dat je tijdens de retraite totaal ontzorgd bent.

Farah as your
relaxation masseur 

Something else I strongly believe in is the power of rest and relaxation. Nowadays we are always alert and our nervous system is always active. It is really hard to find a peaceful state of mind. A great way to unwind is to get a massage. During a massage, you will tune back from your mind into your body and you get the opportunity to experience calmness and tranquility, which is so essential these days. 

Are you in need of an hour of complete relaxation? Are you on holiday here in the area or are you in need of a masseuse for your retreat around Cortona? I am happy to welcome you to my own place for a massage or to create a magical moment of complete relaxation at your retreat or holiday home. Send me a message for availability and pricing.

Cookbook

With years of experience in the (plant based) kitchen and with a thousand ideas for recipes in my mind, a cookbook was a logical next step. In 2025 my first cookbook, ‘Farah’s Retreat Food’, was finally released. The e-book is filled with plant-based recipes to become your own retreat chef at home. Want to order the book? You can find the e-book here.

At this moment I am creating a cookbook with all Italian inspired recipes.

  • For our garden wedding we really wanted a vegetarian and Italian inspired meal to enjoy with our family, friends and kids at long shared tables. Farah made a wonderful proposal that suited us really well. Richly filled snack platters as a starter followed by a delicious Italian buffet with cold and warm platters. My favorite was the caponata. Farah is not only a great chef; she also makes the most colorful and picturesque dishes. Even the guests that weren’t really familiar with vegetarian food were positively surprised. There was something for everyone to enjoy. There was such an abundance of food that even days after our wedding we were able to enjoy the leftovers. It couldn't have been any better.

  • Farah and I have worked together three times already and it has been such a pleasure. The meals (and the sweet treats) are a true pleasure. A real feast for the eyes, healthy but most importantly delicious. The participants (and me!), were always looking forward to the next meal. The meals ended up being one of the most important and pleasant parts of the retreat. Next to that, Farah is a very pleasant person to work with. Very calm, skilled, kind and down to earth. She is very easy going to work with but also towards the participants of the retreat. So, I can definitely recommend working with Farah.

  • Farah from Farah’s Table has been cooking at my recent retreats and it couldn’t have been a better experience. She was always preparing the most delicious, healthy and nourishing meals with a big variety of fruit and vegetables. And what I actually liked the most is that she’s always zen and very calm and it was always a pleasure to have her company during the meals and to talk to her. She was always there to answer questions. So I can highly recommend Farah for your retreats or catering services.

Who is Farah?

Farah is a down to earth Dutchie that made her way to Italy in search of a more conscious, simple and calmer life.  

She loves good food, traveling, reading, hiking, being outdoors, drinking a glass of wine and especially enjoying a quiet life.

A busy and hard-working life never appealed to her and after years of working hard in healthcare and hospitality she has retreated herself to the Italian countryside where’s she living ‘la dolce vita’. And now, she would love to share this life with others.
