Ahara Rasa provides unique Ayurvedic catering experiences for retreats, trainings and events in the Byron Bay Region. We share simple, sattvic food that honours Ayurvedic principles to support your wellbeing and vitality.

We offer you not only delicious meals for your retreat but, an experience of Ayurvedic nutrition & cooking to inspire your guests to live a life of radiant health in harmony with nature.

What makes our catering Ayurvedic?

Ayurvedic cooking is so much more than using spices and cooking with ghee. What makes a meal truely Ayurvedic is that it is supportive for your agni and balanced in nature.

The food we share is sattvic meaning that it is fresh, pure and as close to nature as possible. All our meals are vegetarian, naturally gluten free and made with fresh, mostly organic ingredients.

All meals are tri-doshic to support all constitutions and our menu changes with each season. Our cooking is balanced in the six tastes and honours Ayurvedic food combining principles.

Ayurveda also understands that the energy of the kitchen influences the food we eat and we always aim to cook in a peaceful environment with mantra, love and intention.

What Our Clients Say:

Testimonials Retreats

I had a wonderful experience with Emily at a recent women’s retreat I held. She educated us all on the principles of Ayurveda throughout and it helped us to connect with our delicious meals. The food was so varied and we were left energised after every meal. Emily is a true embodiment of what she speaks and has a beautiful graceful nature. Thank you for the best experience Ahara Rasa!

~ Amy Broderick, Yoga Teacher & Retreat Facilitator

Emily was so lovely to work with. She was professional yet flexible. Easy to work with and became an integral part of the retreat experience for us as hosts and for the guests. Her food was definitely a highlight of the week for everyone and her presence and light in the kitchen made it that much more supportive to the retreat and special for our guests. I highly recommend Emily as a cook for any wellness retreat!

~ Bec Isaacs, Retreat Facilitator

Having Emily catering the Immersion added so much value to the experience. Emily is kind, grounded and with an eye on the details. Food was next level, everything on the menu was seasonal, ayurvedic and full of love and intention. She explained every dish and played in a graceful and professional way with the ingredients, creating fabulous dishes we all enjoyed.

~ Stella, Retreat Guest

“Emily’s food completely surpassed my expectations of Ayurvedic catering on my retreat. There was so much variety and creativity in what she offered. I had seconds and often thirds most meals. But beyond the delicious food that she shares, Emily embodies a generosity of spirit that completely elevates her catering experience.

Emily is warm, plays mantra music while she cooks, always makes time to chat to retreat participants and introduces each meal with such humble yet passionate energy. I would book her for my next retreat in a heart beat! ”
