Become
the best version of yourself
Nourish the body, awaken the soul.
"An experiential retreat that combines conscious cooking, wellness and inner growth."
Healing by Cooking is a holistic culinary approach that comes from my thirty-year experience as an international chef and team building facilitator in the kitchen, and from the discovery of the healing power of food.
Through this method, I integrate my cooking skills with wellness principles to create recipes and paths that promote cellular rejuvenation, increased vital energy and the recovery of balance.
It is an experiential journey that combines the joy of cooking with the wisdom of conscious eating,
a tool to support the natural well-being of body, mind and spirit."

Who is Antonella
Gifted with mediumistic sensitivity, a scholar of symbology, a passionate researcher of ancient healing methods linked to nature. I combine my thirty-year experience as an international chef with that of a team building facilitator in the kitchen to promote a state of psycho-physical well-being.
I spread joyful vitality, celebrate nourishment, with conscious and sustainable choices in the kitchen.
Take care of yourself
It is a gesture of infinite love that I dedicated to myself, and now here, I want to share with all of you.
To you who cannot find a solution to that silent malaise, nestled deep inside, I give my experience, my falls and my rebirths, which can inspire you to profound and forever healing.
The solution is so simple and effective, it gives fast results and has no contraindications, it gets the body moving again and heals it!
I am not a healer nor a teacher, I simply share my journey with you, to inspire you to a simple and effective method, because our body is a perfect machine, and heals itself when it is put in a position to do so.
My story has become a method of travelling, advice, stories, inspirations and recipes of a me who for many years was declared by official medicine to be an incurable case of asthma, allergies, breakdown and depression.
I am reborn and healed and I look at the world and life with joyful eyes,
and if I did it, believe me, you can too.
With the love that moves the sun and the other stars
Con "l'amor che move il sole e l'altre stelle"
RECIPES THAT ARE GOOD FOR BODY, MIND AND SOUL
SPIRITUALITY & FOOD
MY ETHICS IN THE KITCHEN
I cook with awareness and ethics inspired by scientific research on Masaru Emoto's water memory, Simoneton's vibrational field of food and the symbolism of food in epigenetics.
I promote the local economy by using products from small family farms.
I promote the use of vegetable sources which make up 80 per cent of my menus, thus contributing to a local economy and avoiding pollution from animal farms.
I favour short, fat-free cooking that enhances the raw material.
I consciously use herbs making the most of their properties to promote health and well-being.
I mainly use ancient whole grains that evoke ancient rituals and ancestral symbolism.
I avoid the use of the 5 white poisons: flour, refined sugar, salt, pasteurised cow's milk, white rice, preferring whole foods and alternative natural sweeteners.
I procure food in measured quantities to avoid waste and recycle every edible part with creativity and imagination.
I promote a balanced diet as a fundamental support for a state of psychophysical well-being,
to combat depression, anxiety, diabetes and obesity.
I support employees from the weaker social classes, promoting their inclusion in the work environment.
I strictly follow the Haccp system for food cleaning and storage.
I use environmentally friendly cleaning products and self-produce some with natural ingredients and essential oils.
