What people say

Ciara Kirby, House Manager, Seminarhaus Taubenblau

“I have had the pleasure of working with Leah, in Taubenblau Seminarhaus, Stolzenhagen, since 2023. I immediately connected with Leah as she is a person who transmits warmth and positivity, along with a very strong work ethic and professionalism. Leah is a very talented chef and her passion and creativity are clear to see in her cooking and the meals that she serves to each group. Leah goes beyond what is expected of her, in order to provide not only delicious meals but a truly nurturing experience for each group she works with. Leah has fit in beautifully with the rest of our team, she is friendly and open and is an excellent communicator. She manages her space and kitchen helpers in a clear and professional way while staying calm and open to the guests staying in the house with us. I feel so lucky that Leah is now part of our team and anyone blessed to experience her cooking and beautiful presence will be very happy to have found such a wonderful chef and person to work with.”

Caroline Nelson, Little Creek Ranch Cowgirl Camp

“Leah was such a joy to have at our retreats. Her meals are thoughtful, creative, delicious, and highlight local and seasonal ingredients. She brings passion to all parts of the process inside and outside of the kitchen, from sourcing ingredients to holding space with attendees after the meals. Her meals often feature a surprising, thoughtful twist that elevates a delicious classic to new heights. And on top of her culinary gifts, Leah brings a calm, grounded ease that makes working with her extra special.”
