Chef Phoebe Elsa Jordan

I am Phoebe, founder of VENN - a culinary and wellness concept creating nourishing, seasonal dining experiences for retreats, private events and intimate gatherings.

With a background in event creation and a passion for food, wellbeing and conscious living, I have spent the past years bringing people together around the table through bespoke catering experiences. Through VENN, I have catered retreats and private events, creating thoughtful menus that are designed not only to nourish, but to create connection, joy and memorable shared experiences.

My cooking style is nourishing, seasonal and sensory - rooted in local Mediterranean produce, sustainable ingredients and the simple pleasure of sharing a beautiful meal together. I create relaxed, family-style dining experiences that are generous, abundant and full of colour, with vibrant vegetables, fresh herbs, wholesome grains and thoughtful flavours at the centre.

My training as an Ayurvedic Nutrition & Lifestyle Practitioner influences the way I approach food, bringing a deeper understanding of balance, nourishment and wellbeing. I combine these principles with European ingredients and modern seasonal cooking to create food that supports the mind, body and soul.

Whether it’s a private villa dinner, a retreat, or a special gathering, my intention is to create a warm and intimate experience where food becomes a way to connect, celebrate and truly enjoy the moment.
