Let Food be the Medicine
Bre Chittenden’s philosophy around food is deeply rooted in the belief that what we eat has a profound impact on our health, vitality, and connection to life itself. As a retreat chef with a strong foundation in Ayurvedic and macrobiotic principles, she is passionate about creating nourishing, plant-based meals that not only support physical health but also promote mental clarity and emotional balance.
​
Bre’s approach to cooking is guided by a commitment to simplicity, purity, and sustainability. She avoids refined oils, salts, and sugars, ensuring that each dish is made from whole, natural ingredients. Focused on organic and locally sourced produce whenever possible, Bre prepares meals that feed the body with the nutrients it needs to thrive. She believes in the healing power of food, understanding that when we nourish ourselves with wholesome, nutrient-dense ingredients, we support our body’s natural ability to restore and rejuvenate.
​
With an Ayurvedic and macrobiotic focus, Bre tailors each meal to the needs of her clients, taking into consideration their dosha and the balance of yin and yang in their bodies. She creates meals that are warm, grounding, and deeply satisfying, drawing from whole grains, fresh vegetables, legumes, and plant-based proteins. Her cooking emphasizes balance, seasonal ingredients, and mindful eating, ensuring that every meal serves as a tool for promoting long-term health and well-being.
​
In addition to her work as a retreat chef, Bre is currently developing her first cookbook, where she will share her philosophy on clean, wholesome eating and offer easy-to-follow recipes that incorporate Ayurvedic and macrobiotic principles for vibrant health.
​
For Bre, food is life—it’s the foundation of our well-being, a direct reflection of the care and intention we put into nourishing ourselves. By choosing the right ingredients and eating in harmony with the seasons, we can cultivate vitality, clarity, and joy.
Let Bre guide you on a culinary journey where each meal nourishes not just your body, but your soul.
