Cooking with intention & energetics Soulful food for Retreats, Holistic events, Weddings & Workshops

Through flavours that awaken the senses, colours that nourish the soul, and energy that shines from within, we transforms cooking into an art — an alchemy of elements, a dance of taste, and a harmony of colour and texture.

At Anāhata Kitchen, every ingredient carries its own energy, every colour tells a story, and every dish becomes a bridge between body and spirit.

Workshops & Cooking demos

To enrich your event or retreat, I also love to bring Food Energetics Workshop - food is so much more than calories—it carries an energetic quality that can nourish your organs, balance emotions, and support overall health. Through a talk, inspired by Chinese Medicine, cooking demonstration, and tasting, you’ll discover how the five tastes connect with the five elements and how to bring this wisdom into your own kitchen. We’ll also practice a simple 5 Element Qi Gong to ground it all in the body. You will not only learn how to cook with this wisdom but also experience it through delicious flavours and gentle movement. It’s a beautiful way to experience how food and movement open new pathways for healing and joy.

Ralitsa’s cooking - where the inspiration came from

Ralitsa’s journey with food began more than a decade ago, inspired by curiosity and exploration in her own kitchen. Fascinated by the healing power of superfoods, seaweeds, medicinal mushrooms, and herbs, she discovered that food could be so much more than nourishment — it could be medicine, energy, and joy. This passion led her to study at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition NY, where she trained as a health coach and nutritionist, laying the foundation for her holistic approach to food and well-being.

The real adventure began when she moved to London in 2018 and joined Amrutha Lounge — a peaceful, heart-led vegan restaurant that quickly became the city’s number one restaurant on TripAdvisor. There, Ralitsa not only deepened her craft in creating vibrant, delicious vegan cuisine, but also absorbed the most precious lesson of all: to cook with love, to serve with care, and to treat every guest as family. With gratitude, she recalls Amrutha as a place where her culinary spirit flourished, and where she created and developed nourishing detox programs that uplifted and supported hundreds of people.

Her journey continued through several other vegan restaurants in London, each step bringing her closer to her true calling: the birth of Natu.Rali Kitchen that now expanded to Anāhata Kitchen. In its essence, Anāhata Kitchen is more than catering — it is a way of conscious cooking, guided by the energetics of food and the intention to nourish body, mind, and heart.

Over the past years, Ralitsa has catered for numerous wellness events and retreats, and has guided food energetics lectures in the UK, Spain, Greece and Bulgaria. Her work continues to expand — from creating nourishing menus for retreats to stepping into the world of vegan wedding catering, marking a beautiful new chapter with her first wedding event.

Today, Anāhata Kitchen is also growing into a product line, soon to bring its own creations to the market — extending the vision of food as a source of healing, vitality, and joy into people’s everyday lives.

Poetry and the Energy of Food

the emotional, energetic, and nourishing power of what we eat

Anāhata Kitchen Essence

We all know what health is, as well as the constant search for balance within our body. To wake up in the morning feeling fresh and energized, to understand ourselves with greater ease, to carry joy in our hearts, to be awake and conscious…

It is that moment when, if someone asks us “How are you?”, we can answer, “Better and better”… walking on the path of wisdom toward a higher striving.

To live a wise life means to create harmony between our thoughts, feelings, and actions — between our mind, heart, and body.

A human being is renewed each day by bringing into the mind a new uplifting thought, and into the heart a new elevating feeling.In this sense, food too is an extraordinary means — it brings strength and energy into our body and nourishes us on a cellular level.

The right attitude toward food establishes the right functioning of essential processes, so that our body may be healthy, our mind clear, and our heart pure.Our understanding of food and the relationship we cultivate with it are a sacred part of our upward striving!
