Irene smiling nicely

I’m Irene, a professional chef and holistic nutritionist from Spain, now based in Victoria, BC.

Food has always been central to my life, culture, and well-being.
My work blends Mediterranean cooking traditions with holistic nutrition to create meals and guidance that are both nourishing and enjoyable.

I work with individuals and families who want to eat well without overthinking it—people who are busy, caring for others, managing health concerns, or simply tired of cooking every day. My approach is:
Practical – food that fits into real schedules
Flexible – no rigid rules or perfection
Ingredient-focused – whole, seasonal, thoughtfully sourced foods
Supportive – meeting you where you are.

Whether I’m cooking for you, planning meals together, or supporting you through nutrition consultations, my goal is always the same: to help you feel nourished, supported, and more at ease around food.
