Meet Your Holistic AI Kitchen Team

On this page, you'll meet our three chef-trained AI assistants designed to simplify your cooking, planning, and wellness journey. Use them as often as you like. They're here to make your time in the kitchen easier, healthier, and more organised.

Willow: Everyday cooking & meal planning
Alder: Wellness hospitality, sports performance & private chef menus
Rowan: Clinical-style nutrition guidance (non-medical)

Willow: Everyday Cooking Support & Meal Planner

Chef Willow is your easy-going kitchen buddy. She's perfect for home cooks, families, and anyone who wants to eat well without overthinking it. She can sketch out weekly meal plans that match your schedule, budget, and cravings. She also suggests simple recipe ideas based on what's already in your fridge and helps you reinvent leftovers so nothing goes to waste.

Willow can build shopping lists, offer plant-forward or flexitarian options, and switch between metric and cups with no fuss. The best part? You can chat to her like a friend. Try asking, "Plan five easy dinners for two adults and two kids," or "I've got chickpeas, spinach, coconut milk, and rice - now what?" Give it a go and have some fun. Willow is surprisingly good at making your kitchen feel easier and a lot more enjoyable.

Alder: Wellness Hospitality, Private Chef & Sports Menus

Alder is your behind-the-scenes wellness chef. He creates menus that look good and work in real kitchens. He's ideal for retreat hosts, hotels, cafés, private chefs, and anyone feeding groups. He suits villas, chalets, yachts, and sports camps.

Alder can map out 3-21 day retreat menus. He can build practical hotel menus or weekly plans for private chef clients. He creates performance-focused meals for athletes and training camps. Alder thinks in mise en place, batch cooking, and kitchen flow. He keeps everything plant-forward, wholefood-driven, and realistic for busy chefs.

Just tell him what you need. Try, "Design a 7-day retreat menu for 14 guests in Spain." Or, "I'm a private chef and need a week of dinners for a flexitarian family." Or, "Create a high-performance buffet for a triathlon camp." He'll take it from there.

Rowan: Clinical Nutrition Advisor (Non-Medical)

Rowan is your steady, science-minded guide when you want a bit more clarity around the why behind your food choices. She's perfect for wellness professionals, retreat hosts, chefs, and curious home cooks who want their meals and menus to feel grounded, balanced, and evidence-informed without slipping into fad territory.

Rowan can add gentle, research-based context to your recipes, help you shape menus that lean toward general wellness patterns like gut-friendly or anti-inflammatory eating, and ensure your health-related language stays clear, responsible, and safe.

She won't diagnose, treat, or prescribe - and she's not a replacement for a doctor or dietitian - but she's brilliant at offering educational guidance that keeps things sensible and grounded.

Ask her things like, "Can you review this retreat menu from a nutrition perspective?", or "How can I describe this breakfast buffet without sounding like diet culture?", and she'll help you navigate the wellness world with confidence and clarity.

Rowan provides educational nutrition context only and does not give medical advice.

How They Work Together

Each AI assistant can be used on their own, or you can combine them depending on what you're working on. To access them, follow the link to their ChatGPT page - you'll just need a basic ChatGPT account. You can type or use the voice tool for easy, natural conversation.

Together, they help you cook and eat with more intention, design better menus, and communicate about food and wellness with clarity and confidence. Willow supports everyday cooking and weekly planning. Alder helps with retreat menus, hospitality dishes, and sports-focused cuisine. Rowan offers a grounded nutrition context and safe wellness wording.

You don't need any technical knowledge to start. Just open the link to the AI Chef you want to work with and begin your chat - voice or text both work well.

Choose your AI Chef to begin:

  • Willow supports your everyday cooking and weekly planning.
  • Alder helps with retreat menus, hospitality dishes, and sports-focused cuisine.
  • Rowan gives grounded nutrition context and safe wellness wording.
