About me
Hi there, my name is Guilda and I’d like to give you a warm welcome to ‘Rooted Vegan Kitchen’ (RVK)!
Rooted Vegan Kitchen (RVK) was born through my love and passion for all things food, health and of course plant-based.
During lockdown, I have pushed myself and thrived to learn and understand in more depth the nutrition behind the foods we love to enjoy as well as those foods we should enjoy more of and looking at ways of how food plays a major role in our day to day lives, health and wellbeing.
RVK is a place, first and foremost, about creating recipes that will tantalise your taste buds as well as bringing maximum benefit to you nutritionally. As a plant-based chef, I love playing around with ingredients and seeing what I can come up with that is tasty, satisfying and filling as well as pleasing to the eye.
What do I offer: personalised meal plans and nutritional coaching and mentoring as well as regular useful topics covered in our blogs and new recipes to try out at home.
I am passionate about what I do and with over 10 years experience within the food and health industry, I know I can help you understand food better, understand the nutritional values behind the foods we enjoy as well as working with you to achieve your own personal health goals.
So WELCOME, take a look around and feel free to contact me with any enquiries.

RVK team catered for my 25th wedding anniversary, which was a surprise for my wife, and we thoroughly enjoyed all that was on offer. I spoke with Guilda at length about the menu and she was always friendly and accommodating to ensure she could cater for exactly what we wanted. The day was a success thanks for Guilda and her lovely team. Thank you.

I run yoga retreats and came across Rooted Vegan Kitchen on a local vegan page. After my initial enquiry, Guilda got back to me and we discussed the option of foods I wanted to offer my students on our one day retreat and we were not disappointed. She catered an all vegan and gluten free menu and we were not disappointed. I will be back. Many thanks.

I contacted Rooted Vegan Kitchen on behalf of my company as we were looking for someone to offer our team of 14 not only healthy food, but also an introductory talk on 'eating vegan and its benefit. Guilda gave a talk for about 30 minutes with time for Q&As and then made a quick smoothie recipe in front of everyone before we got to enjoy her delicious and filling buffet. Thank you. This was a great way to bring health and nutrition into the workforce. Cambridge!

Guilda has truly made me look at what I eat in a totally new light. I have changed some not so great habits into healthy habits by simply understanding why I eat certain foods and when I eat them. I am truly thankful for this experience and will continue on this healthy path. Thank you!

We got in touch with Guilda after my family and I (my wife Debbie and 2 Sam 14 and Sue 11) tried Veganuary out for the first time. As long term vegetarians, and both my wife and I working full time, we were struggling to come up with tasty and nutritious meals and were cooking the same old meals which we were all bored of. Working with Guilda on some ideas, she created our family with a 3 month personalised meal plan and apart from a few deviations, and occasional eating out, we have pretty much stuck to it and the kids not only love the creative dishes we make, they also help out!!! I highly recommend this service to everyone, especially busy families like ours :)

For Valentines, my girlfriend and I decided to invite all of our family round for a meal (total 18 of us plus a few children) and we decided to spoil ourselves with hiring a personal chef. Although we are mostly vegetarian, we came across Guilda and Rooted Vegan Kitchen on Google search and after some email exchanges, we chose a menu that Guilda and Sam delivered to a high standard. I will definitely use them again and highly recommend spoiling yourselves to delicious food that you don’t have to clear up afterwards yourselves (we paid additional for this well worth it service).

Best vegan food we have had in a long time. A delicious variety of Middle-Eastern foods, presented beautifully and so glad I chose this company to cater for our Wedding. All our guests (non vegan included) were very happy with this feast and to top it all off, we devoured our Rose and Pistachio (pink) wedding cake. Thank you to you all for making our day a success.

We were treated to some of the most delicious vegan foods we have ever had and the whole process from ordering, communication, decision making through to delivery for our Corporate Client Buffet offering was successful. We will definitely be back to order more goodies for our company, employees and clients!

I chose Rooted Vegan Kitchen simply through seeing the tasty looking pictures on IG and knowing that they provided gluten free (which was a must for my wife who is Coeliac)! I was getting married on Valentines to my sweetheart of over 20 years and wanted the food and cake to compliment the day and we were not disappointed with Middle-Eastern/Persian vibe that was offered. The presentation, the quantity and flavours were all delightful. We will be back for sure.
