Another visit to Cucumber Fields, a wonderful place of calm and connection.
This time we catered for Grace Lillywhite, founder of Centred Mums.

Grace first introduced me to Cucumber Fields three years ago and since then I’ve been proud to cater for her retreat days.

Grace does incredible work supporting mums of all ages, helping them restore their core and pelvic floor strength, build confidence, and reconnect with their bodies.

Check out her website to learn more about what she offers and how she’s empowering women every day. 🌿✨

This post takes you through the process from chopping the fresh veg 🥕🧅 for the lamb and cabbage, to the slow simmering, and finally plating up this comforting, hearty meal ❤️ A celebration of good food, warmth, and family moments around the table. 🍽️✨
