“Lillian a su élaborer un menu super goûteux et tout en respectant mes exigences vu plusieurs allergies dans ma famille. Son gâteau au chocolat, délicieux! Je n’hésite pas à recommander ses services pour un repas familial ou entre amis”

“Lillian’s food is crafted with love and mindfulness. The fresh ingredients deeply nourished my body, and the delightful flavor combinations thrilled my palate. Each dish, beautifully presented, was a feast for the eyes. The highlight of the retreat was undoubtedly the food cooked by Lillian. Enjoying her cuisine is a sensory gift. Anyone who has the opportunity to taste her cooking is truly fortunate.”

– Geraldine Jones

“First, I have to say how grateful I am to have even met Lilian! She is a light to all, and I will forever cherish the days I have spent with her and the memories I shared with her through food. I had the pleasure of experiencing Lillian’s joy for the kitchen. I went through an elimination diet and cleanse for a month. Lillian took the time to go through all that I could & could not eat.
After that, she developed meals for me to stick to my diet daily. This made eating so easy and so much less stressful for me. For every meal, she explained all the benefits of all I had that day.
One of my favorite meals was the sweet potato pasta served with beats! I could eat that all day!! Every meal Lillian served was delicious and I loved it all. Now I know when I’m ready to make this my lifestyle I have Lillian to reach out to. Absolutely loved it. I really appreciate all you have done Lillian, especially your efforts in going above and beyond for me. I highly recommend Lillian and her services.”

HEAD TRAINER & OWNER HAMMERSTONE FITNESS,

“Lillian is truly a light bringer in the world of spirituality, movement and nutrition. When I first met Lillian on the Island of Barbados in 2020 on one of her many world wide excursions of living life on life’s term, her warmness immediately greeted my soul.

That is also my experience with having Lillian as part of my wellness team as I strive to re-engineer my connection with food, movement and purpose. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Lillian live by example, and her meals helped breathe life into me as well.
My two favorite treats prepared by Lillian are the coconut balls and the date desserts. To have a dessert that’s not only delicious but healthy was the game changer in working with Lillian. Her effortless approach to only using what was grown in Barbados also signalled to me how eco friendly she was and how willing she was to show the rest of the world, grow what you eat, and eat what you grow.

I highly recommend Lillian, not only as your guide to wellness through nutrition and movement, but I strongly encourage anyone to have Lillian be an International Speaker about Wellness. She is a breath of fresh air, and loves to keep the human spirit connected”.
Thank you so much Lil for being a light bringer in my journey called LIFE!!!

“Our group recently attended a Vegan Indian Cooking Class with Chef Lillian in Bali, and it was fantastic. Chef Lillian’s clear, easy-to-follow instructions and printed recipes made the class a breeze. The interactive session was filled with fun and laughter, and everyone had a great time.
We’ve all cooked the recipes at home, integrating her lessons into our daily cooking. The experience was educational, enjoyable, and memorable. We still talk about the amazing food and the wonderful time we had. Highly recommend her cooking classes. Best chef and teacher!”
