Events
Retreat Chef
I have led many retreats in different countries, sometimes over a weekend, sometimes for longer trainings or programs. This is at the heart of my passion, and I would be delighted to work with you to make your retreat a truly magical experience, both in the Shala and at the dining table.
Consulting
Private Chef
I have had the pleasure of catering for intimate birthday celebrations or and memorable opening nights and celebrations. Whether you are gathering a handful of close friends or welcoming hundreds of guests, I bring the same dedication and passion to every table.
I offer a personalized private chef service in the comfort of your own home. Whether you are looking for a relaxed family dinner, an elegant dinner party, or a week of healthy and delicious daily meals, I tailor every menu to your tastes, dietary needs, and the rhythm of your lifestyle.
I offer personalised culinary consultations to help you design menus that are as inspiring as they are delicious. Whether you are looking to create a fully plant-based vegan menu, explore a specific cuisine, or simply bring more creativity and balance to your table, I am here to guide you.

The best food I’ve ever eaten at a Yoga retreat!
I had no idea vegan food could taste like this.
I loved it, thank you so much! :)

I had an extraordinary retreat experience here in Toulouse, and the absolute highlight of the stay was definitely Charles's flavorful cooking. For me, this is food that nourishes not just the body, but the mind as well.
