What my clients say!
"My name is Amanda Bucher - I am a Yoga teacher, Massage Practitioner and I recently ran The Summer Still point Retreat at The Stanton Guildhouse in The Cotswolds. I have worked with Melanie several times - in The Peak District, Derbyshire at a Seasonal Weleda Wellbeing Retreat. Melanie cooks delicious and very nourishing meals for our Retreats - this June we sourced locally grown veg and Melanie instantly creates beautiful looking and nurturing meals.
Melanie adapts well with the dietary requirements of our guests and creates individual meals for those who have allergies. Melanie is great fun and works hard to maintain a level of expertise and originality. Also Melanie is able to fit in really well to the location and set up her kitchen to prep her meals for our guests. I look forward to working with Melanie at further retreats and I am looking forward to her new skills working with Ayurveda and how this will elevate her offerings as a Retreat chef.
Kind wishes"

Thank you so much Mel xx"

"Mel supported FRESH as part of an expert line up of specialist speakers for our Hormone Health series. Mel delivered a knowledgable, inspiring and engaging talk about nourishing ourselves and our hormones with nutrition. Mel has a fabulous ability to share her wisdom without overwhelming and to break down myths by explaining the nutrition science too. Everyone who attended loved the session and the Q&A afterwards was buzzing with interest and chat. Mel has so much passion and expertise that you will always come away from any of her sessions with ideas, tips and real Inspo that you can put into practice yourself immediately. We are super grateful to her for being a part of our programme and look forward to inviting her to speak or host a session again. Always great to work with her and highly recommend."

"Really enjoyed this pop-up. The food was freshly cooked, light, expertly spiced and delicious. The atmosphere was great with a buzz of happy diners all enjoying the food. I'll definitely watch out for upcoming events and be back for more!"

"Highly recommended! Mel was so collaborative and easy to work with. I wanted nourishing, beautiful food for my spiritual 40th birthday celebration, along with a gong bath and I was delighted. Even though most of my guests weren't vegan or vegetarian, they all loved the food and commented on how clean and healthy it tasted. On a practical level, Mel was very good at communication and was punctual, clean and tidy with setting up and cleaning up. The presentation was gorgeous, she also used sustainable party materials wherever possible.
thank you Mel for helping to make a special occasion so easy and memorable!"
Danielle, Cambridge, August 2023
"I had the pleasure of tasting some of Mel's delicious food at my colleague's wedding and was very impressed by the creativity and flavour in every dish. Since then, the company I work for has used lovenutritioncambridge for a few events where Mel provided exquisite canapés with stunning plant-based toppings, all beautifully presented and full of vibrant, nutritious ingredients.
What really sets Mel apart is her warm and friendly approach and the personal care she brings to everything she does. From the very first conversation, her communication was clear and thoughtful, with incredible attention to detail throughout. You can truly feel her passion and love for creating food that not only looks and tastes amazing but is also deeply nourishing.
a wonderful experience from start to finish! Highly recommended!"

"After attending one of Melanie's yoga/nutrition retreats for the second time, I have come to the conclusion that I simply must have these detox days in my life. Melanie is the perfect example of someone who eats her own cooking and is super passionate about the wisdom she delivers. Her knowledge is second to none. It's like she has spent years sifting through the dirt to find gold nuggets of wisdom to share with her clients. Such a genuinely loving spirit here to help lift the vibration of the world! I highly recommend you go get involved. Life changing.....
Thank you very much, Simon"
Simon Stocker, September 2022
"Discovering Melanie and Lovenutritioncambridge has been lifechanging for me!Having been diagnosed with cancer in the summer of 2020, once I had finished my chemo I knew I had to find a way to give my body the best kick start possible, to clear out the toxins and to rebuild my body from the inside out.I knew I wanted to eat a plant based diet but fatigued from treatment I needed to make this transition as easy as possible.
Melanie has been able to provide me with three personally tailored and nutritionally balanced meals a day making this lifestyle change so so easy. I have been blown away by how gorgeously tasty everything has been.
The service Melanie provides is truly fantastic and I couldn't recommend her more highly"
Angie Bray, May 2021
"Amazing cook....has such knowledge on plant based nutrition! Such a beautiful soul, she catered for me on a yoga retreat, that I will never forget! My favourite meal was the aubergine and green bean Indian curry....It was so beautiful."
Jazz, Sept 2020
"I got a takeaway from lovenutritioncambridge at the Pop up cafe and it was amazing! Melanie is lovely and everything was so professional and well organised. Customer service was second to none and the food was delicious. It was a beautiful dinner and I am definitely looking forward to my next time and other events too.
Thank you!"
Annika Schorken, June 2020
"I saw Melanie with a very specific need for nutrition advice (I'm a pregnant vegan!). Melanie was so very helpful - she answered all of my questions in satisfying detail and gave me a lot of information to take home, as well as sending a follow up email summarising everything that had been discussed and recommended I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Melanie to anyone with a need for nutritional advice - however obscure".
Frances Robinson, October 2019
"Mel has been there for me with nutritional advice and guidance for over a year now. She is very passionate about nutrition and goes above expectations. Becoming vegan (and following a gluten/wheat free diet also) seemed a little daunting at first as I'm no cook whatsoever! However, Mel gave me some delicious recipes to follow as well as detailed advice on how to get everything I needed from food, minimising the need to purchase loads of vitamins. She educated me on which foods to eat together to get the most benefit from them, her knowledge is fantastic. She has some great juice/smoothie recipes too, which are so tasty and give you that extra boost of vitamins in the morning! Mel is so easy to talk to, non-judgemental and never makes me feel like I'm a burden when I ask her a million questions. I highly recommend Mel, you won't be disappointed".
Kate Hussey, March 2018
"I had basic knowledge of nutrition but Mel taught me so much in a friendly way. After an initial consultation, she created a six week meal plan. In those six weeks, I felt healthier and more energetic which is exactly what I asked for. I'd highly recommend Mel for your nutrition needs!"
