Since the time of the ancients, across all civilisations, a simple truth has always been understood: we are what we eat. Yet in recent times, especially in western industrialised societies, the importance of nutrition, the quality of our food and the sustainability of our ecosystem has all too often been cast aside in exchange for convenience, abundance and ever-cheaper highly processed products. The quest for health and wellbeing seemingly eclipsed by the incessant drive for greater and greater profits.

Conscious Kitchen Club has been established to redress this imbalance by providing a platform for the education and creative development of children to enable them to take informed decisions for their long-term nutrition and wellbeing. We believe that health, sustainability and profits are not mutually exclusive, but are integral parts of a positive and successful business.

“Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”

FOUNDER & HEAD CHEF: VANESSA BUSTAMANTE

Vanessa’s passion for cooking and the transformational properties of food led her down a path of self development and holistic medicine. This cultivated her desire to help others heal through the esteemed and rigorous study of Macrobiotics, which draws on Oriental philosophy and medicine to offer comprehensive guidelines on how to find health and vitality in life.

Conscious Kitchen Club is the culmination of Vanessa’s personal exploration of the healing power of nutrition, intertwined with her love of children and her desire to help educate the younger generations to make conscious nutritional decisions. In collaboration with some of the leading chefs in London and England’s finest hand picked suppliers, we tailor themed menus and nutrition-related entertainment for children of all ages.
