Let’s Eat❊ private dinners❊ education & demos❊ retreat cooking❊ recipe developmenT❊ Vegan menu CONSULTING Inquire to work with me Hi, I’m Karley.I believe good food speaks a language THAT everyone can understand.A lovingly-prepared meal can transport you to unfamiliar territory, bring back nostalgic memories, or make you fall in love. For me, preparing food is a spiritual and energetic process. It not only requires confidence in knowledge & skills, but also trusting the gut and an innate desire to make people feel happy, healthy, and nurtured. I love food because of the connections it can initiate - from land to farmer, farmer to chef, chef to chef, chef to eater, or from eater to eater. Food is an invitation for camaraderie and compassion. It is a chance to be creative and innovative. It is an opportunity to heal and love. It is a form of expression and communication.It is life & it is beautifully delicious. HERE’S MY DEAL — I SPECIALIZE IN FOOD THAT IS WHOLESOME, PLANT-BASED, SUSTAINABLY GROWN, SEASONAL, AND GLOBALLY-INSPIRED.I especially love offering smörgåsbord/community style meals for intimate groups in beautiful settings - think, a natural linen covered table full of hand-carved wooden bowls and finely crafted stone plates.

In 2010, I adopted a fully plant-based diet. It forced me to get in the kitchen and learn how to turn plants into tasty meals. I discovered I loved to cook, & all of the plant foods made me feel better than ever!Once I graduated school, I dove deeper into this newfound love for good food. I apprenticed on small-scale organic farms where I became the unofficial snack provider. After a long day in the fields, I would take all the ‘ugly produce’ that wasn’t going to make it to the market, and turn it into yummy treats for my fellow farmers and friends. These experiences showed me where I really needed to be: cooking professionally.I found a plant-based culinary school in Austin, TX and immersed myself in healing philosophies and culinary techniques. Cooking for others felt like my true calling and I have been doing it ever since. My career has brought me to places like New Zealand, St. Barth’s, Thailand, Portugal, The UK, Milan, China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong! These days I am based in Luxembourg where I run a virtual design business called Waterdrop Studio. Our mission is to help folks in the food space around the world with branding and web design so they can connect with dream clients, find freedom, and make bank.When I’m not cooking or helping folks in the food space, I love walking in nature with my pup Kimchi,swimming in the sea & sun, exploring new places with an oat milk matcha in hand,and (of course!) eating good food with good company. अहिंसा Let’s Chat.Use this handy form to inquire about working with me, or just to say hello!
