Meet your chef, Angie

A true south-coast treasure, Angie’s culinary brilliance is matched only by her commitment to a sustainable, ethical and locally sourced menu. Think rich cardamon-scented Massaman curry, smoked burrata pasta, salads that crunch with freshness and taste, Buddha bowls bright with colour and flavour, homemade chocolate truffles… have I got your attention yet?

 

A trained chef, cooking teacher, and expert fermenter, Angie is passionate about sharing her knowledge of food and nutrition. As one of the founders and former culinary director of Two Good Co, her passion lies in using food to help transform lives. Wholesome, nutritious, nourishing and all sourced from the local area, Angie’s food deserves a retreat of its own. Hm. Maybe I’ll work on that!

I loved the classes. I learnt a lot about supporting my body and felt so good and flexible after the classes. I also loved the pace of the schedule, great balance of free time and class time.

What I liked best is the structure of the classes and it built trust and friendship. I was apprehensive because of long term illness and you allowed belief in myself and  my body's capabilities.
