Dori is amazing! We were so lucky to have her as our yoga retreat chef. Not only did she create a delicious and satisfying plant-based menu for our not-completely-plant-based and diverse group, but she brought an extra touch of positive, beautiful and loving energy to the whole food experience during our weekend together. My group of ladies couldn't get over how amazing the food was, particularly the ones who are not plant-based, which was an extra win. - Cat V.  

It was an honor to have you as our chef during the retreat. I learned how great vegan food can be and I'll be incorporating more of that into my diet. Everything you made was amazingly delicious and delightful! Your massage was my evening highlight and I absolutely enjoyed it! - Julia J.

We were lucky enough to have Dori as the chef for our yoga retreat in Yucca Valley. Every breakfast, lunch and dinner was a nutritious, delicious and filling treat! Those of us who are not vegan were concerned we’d be hungry and not satisfied with the vegan meals and every single one of us was extremely pleasantly surprised. Dori also brings her beautiful personality and her passion for vegan eating, exercise and spirituality to every gathering. I am grateful to have met her and spent a few days enjoying her meals and conversation!! - Dima K.

I connected with Dori at a yoga retreat in Joshua Tree. From the get-go, she became an integral part of our group - much more than just our retreat chef. Her genuinity and charisma brought so much warmth into the space. On top of that, she is a genius in the kitchen! Every recipe blew me away. I am already trying to convert my partner to be vegan. I am so grateful for Dori's grace and nourishment, and hope to see her again! - Sarah Woodward

I got the privilege of meeting Dori on a yoga retreat, she was the chef preparing food for our group.  I could not imagine anyone more perfect to nourish us!  Her food was amazing, beautifully prepared, immaculate taste and every single detail from coffee to dessert was spot on.  I was blown away at how delicious her vegan meals tasted!  Dori was the perfect combination of cool and laid back, she was such a wonderful addition to our group.  I was lucky enough to get a massage by Dori, which was absolutely AMAZING!  It’s obvious that Dori is very skilled and experienced in massage therapy as well as cooking!  I’m so grateful our paths crossed.  - Jennifer Benner

Dori is not only an amazing chef but an amazing person and I’m so obsessed with her! From green smoothies to paella, she can make it healthy and delicious. I love how accessible and friendly her cooking is to omnivores and those looking to transition to a plant-based diet. - Maggie Ortlieb, CEO / Founder VegOut Magazine

On our recent yoga retreat, my husband and I had the pleasure of meeting the chef for the trip, Dori.  Having Dori as our Vegan chef for the retreat was the cherry on top!  Our food for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack was a mouthful of tasty nutrition leaving us feeling satisfied and light on our feet.  Her attention to the smallest of details did not go unnoticed as she created sacred space, and made each meal presentation aesthetically pleasing to boot.  We got the chance to talk and mingle and fell in love with her vibrant energy and kind soul.  Her hospitality made us feel right at home, and she never hesitated to be accommodating to each and every retreater and their special needs.  We admire her commitment and dedication to the vegan cuisine and lifestyle.  She even offered me her sneakers to borrow for a hike as I had forgotten my own at home.  Thank you Dori! - Katie Hunt

I cannot speak highly enough about Dori and her wonderful food and amazing energy!!! She takes so much care in preparing delicious food that is also visually so pretty to look at! I am not vegan or even vegetarian. I eat dairy and mostly chicken/seafood and am weird about textures. I don’t have many food sensitivities but Dori was so thoughtful about that with the other retreat attendants that did. Attending a retreat where only vegan food would be served made me a little nervous because I anticipated tofu and mushrooms in everything, both things I do not enjoy. I was so pleasantly surprised our first night which was taco night…her Mexican rice was so good! I think my favorite meal was the last dinner where we had vegan nacho cheese and enchilada gnocchi…and a street corn salad!!!! She made tofu satay skewers which I actually ate and went back for seconds, that peanut sauce was 🔥! I actually went out and purchased some of the things she served and shared them with my family. Her wonderful food aside, Dori has the best energy! She connected with all of the retreat attendants so well and really was a part of our gathering. I can’t wait for our paths to cross again! - Cari Duprey

We love our couples massages with Dori! She comes to our house with her entire set-up -- including music -- and does a terrific job figuring out what kind of massage each of us needs. She's both gentle and strong: she sneaks up on problem areas, gently feeling them out at first and then using very precise movements and pressure to conquer them! Dori has been great about accommodating our concerns about Covid, including wearing a mask and occasionally doing the massages outside. She is very friendly and really professional - always responding quickly, sending us reminders the day before, and showing up on time. We're so happy she was highly recommended to us! - Peter & Johanna

We hired Dori to cater a private dinner for my girlfriend's 30th birthday for a total of 10 people. She not only provided what was "the best caesar salad" one friend has ever had, she also came prepared to dress up as "The Kitchen Witch" for our Halloween themed event! She curated not only an incredible meal but also an entire dining experience. On top of that, she was a ball of positive energy throughout the night and I would highly suggest you consider booking her for your next event. Thank you, Dori! - Forrest Bashaw
