This Glasgow-based catering company specialises in creating delicious, nutritious food specifically designed to provide the right foundation for yoga and wellness retreats. Founded by Birte, who was born in Germany and moved to Scotland in 2001, the business focuses on seasonal ingredients and garden produce to create meals that support the health purposes of retreat experiences. They emphasise high nutritional value in their food creations to aid wellness objectives.

The company offers retreat catering services and operates a bi-weekly retreat takeaway collection service featuring food based on what they would cook for yoga and wellness retreats. Their menu emphasises seasonality and nutrition, primarily vegetarian and often vegan whilst never compromising on flavours. They also provide support for yoga supper events and mini retreats, working alongside yoga instructors to create nourishing afternoon experiences.

Kitchen Alchemie focuses on vegetables, grains, and seeds, maximising their mineral, vitamin, and protein compounds whilst avoiding nonsense and concentrating only on proven health benefits. Their approach combines Birte’s traditional German cooking knowledge with the diverse ingredients available in Scotland. The business partners with yoga instructors to provide complete retreat experiences including both food and wellness education components.
