" "Thanks for the recipes, I had a great time and have recommended it to my friends." Again in 2017 Claudia offered her popular vegan cooking retreats.
The owners of Elvey Farm in Pluckley, Mariantonietta and Enrico, enjoyed Claudia's dining during their stay at her vegan B&B in Provence so much they invited her to take her yoga & vegan cooking retreats to Elvey Farm!
