Spa Cuisine as an Indulgence
“Celebration is a kind of food we all need in our lives, and each individual brings a special recipe or offering, so that together we will make a great feast. Celebration is a human need that we must not, and can not, deny. It is richer and fuller when many work and then celebrate together.” – Corita Kent and Jan Steward
This culinary activity is not only fun, but is a healthy, intimate and cost effective alternative to dining out in expensive restaurants: Why not spark some romance in the kitchen with your favourite sparkling beverage and delight and entertain your guests on the sunset deck!
Or woo your new Bride and wife! Celebrate new beginnings and new life!
Benefits of Spa cuisine:
Natural Ingredients:
Processed and refined foods are minimized and instead, spa cuisine uses fresh and natural ingredients that are good for you and are whole in nature.
Seasonal Appropriate:
Most spa cuisine menus incorporate in-season ingredients. Some spas may even grow their own produce. This ensures that the ingredients are always available and are as fresh as possible.
Colorful:
Well-balanced and Nutritious:
Meals served at spas often concentrate on providing balance and variety in the dishes they serve. They want to ensure that guests get a good balance of macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates and fats) in their meal. Each calorie you consume is meant to provide you with healthy nutrients, vitamins and minerals.
