To call Aleya a chef is an understatement. She is a witch wielding her magic with herbs, spices, vegetables, fruits, and high quality meats - creating not just food, but medicine. She reminds me of the book, "Like Water for Chocolate' with her unique way of making all my retreat students feel joy and reverence as they eat her food. She introduces each of her meals with eloquence and depth that reminds us of the abundance mother nature provides for us every day. Aleya is a rare breed of chef, once that will help to create magic at any occasion. I feel honored to have discovered her work.

Aleya is such an incredible chef as well as an amazing person. She is organized, communicative, and her food (and presentation of it) is incredible! We can't wait to have her back for another retreat!
