Ella Rodwell
Ella Rodwell is a retreat chef based in the wild heart of Cornwall, UK, where she creates vibrant, nourishing meals rooted in wholefood, plant-based and seasonal cooking. Passionate about using ingredients that grow close to home, Ella draws inspiration from the UK’s rich natural pantry — from garden harvests to foraged finds in local forests, heaths, and hedgerows.
Her food is joyful, nutrient-dense, and protein-rich, crafted to energise and inspire those she cooks for. Ella believes that food should be both grounding and uplifting, and her dishes invite people to explore the endless creativity of plant-based cooking.
Retreat cheffing became the perfect expression of her passions — a blend of food, yoga, and human connection. Whether she’s harvesting herbs from her garden, fermenting something new in the kitchen, or sharing a meal around a communal table, Ella cooks with intention and heart.
