ASHLEY ANDERSON, EXECUTIVE CHEF & FOUNDER

Ashley has a forage cooking style, influenced by her years of living on the island of Oahu, world travel, training at the Natural Gourmet Insitute in NYC, and learning the power of food and intention. 

She completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training with Yoga Medicine, designed in a retreat-style format, where she discovered the significance of nourishment in sustaining her during extensive learning days. This awareness ignited her passion for delving into the realm of health-supported cooking. 

Uproot Culinary is how she helps others find the same food, mind, and body connection. She supports retreat leaders and their visions as well as helping clients be the best and truest versions of themselves.

ABOUT US

  • We were so lucky to have Uproot on the retreat with us. The meals were beautifully crafted and nourished us throughout the weekend.

  • I have a very special diet, and this team was more than accommodating. Truly beyond. If you want healthy, delicious, gorgeous food this is the team for you. I really appreciate the care that went into sourcing the ingredients and finding special items that were in season and of the highest quality from local farmers.

  • Ashley and her crew do absolutely phenomenal work! Every spread, dish, bite of this event was truly fantastic, and I couldn't recommend her enough. Everything was picture-worthy and delicious.

  • Each meal was very tasty and satisfying, after the first meal of the weekend we were very much looking forward to the next, and the next, and the next...We don't usually eat vegan, and we were highly impressed with the food!
