Real Food Catering & Private Chef

Luciana’s was the first name our Airbnb host gave me when I asked about vegan birthday cake options in Sayulita, and it was quickly obvious why. There isn’t enough space here to say all the good things I’d like to about her and Real Food Catering, but here’s a start… A few days before our trip to Sayulita, I reached out to Luciana about ordering a vegan birthday cake. She replied immediately. I liked the options she gave me, so we arranged for pickup a cake that would feature layers of nuts, seeds, cacao, strawberries and coconut. Once we arrived, plans changed a bit, and I asked Luciana if she would be able to make dinner at our Airbnb for 5 adults and 2 children. This was an afterthought, and I didn’t expect that she’d be able to do it on such short notice, but she said she could, and very graciously worked with me on delivery and payment schedules. With very little notice, Luciana put together a delicious and eclectic birthday dinner spread that included veggie tacos (sautéed mushrooms, peppers and onions, with spicy cabbage), baba ghanoush, a huge bowl of guacamole, lentil and potato dhal, jasmine rice, mixed greens salad and a peanut plantain dressing that was rich and complex. All of this she did in our Airbnb’s kitchen and the aromas while she cooked were amazing. Dinner was a huge hit, and we stuffed ourselves happily. While we dined, Luciana quietly tidied the kitchen. When it was time to put the candles on the cake, I couldn’t find the ones I thought I’d brought, and with none in the house, I gloomily accepted the fact that I had no candles for my wife’s birthday cake. After Luciana and I settled up the very reasonable payment for the meal and cake, she departed while I turned back to finish dinner and think about singing Happy Birthday over a dark cake. Not long after, and just before I pulled the cake from the fridge, my phone buzzed - It was Luciana, and she was outside - with birthday candles! She’d seen I was upset about not having candles and had gone out of her way to purchase some and bring them back. This thoughtful act by a beautiful and considerate person warmed our hearts, lit up a lovely birthday cake and put smiles on our faces for days. Thank you, Luciana!!! 😊🤙🏼🌞🌱❣️

an exquisite flavor experience

Luciana tiene una energia hermosa y lo refleja en sus creaciones!! La comida super natural y muy sabrosa. Combinación que a veces es dificil conseguir! Super recomendada ;)

Delicious and tasty dishes. Everything is well-organized and delivered. The service is worth the money.

We have a child with a protein allergy and I also have problems with gluten, so it is always a problem for meals on vacation. Everything was delicious and uncomplicated. Also, it is true that she smiles a lot ....and puts a lot of love into food (you can feel it).

I highly recommend the food that Luciana makes with so much love, dedication and simplicity. everything she makes is delicious! Healthy, lively and colorful food. Luciana is very attentive and her energy is very beautiful. Thank you!!

I love Luciana’s meals. She is really aware of healthy living food. Her wholesome meals are delicious and beautiful. She has a lovely energy and brings love to her cooking. Wonderful food on all levels: health, taste, and healing vibrant energy.

Todo lo que cocinó Luciana fue delicioso e innovador. Súper recomendable! Comida natural y con mucho amor

She was cooking for us in our retreat in June, we were really impressed by the variety of options, and how delicious it was! In addition their food is very light, you feel nourished without fear of gaining weight... haha. Everything felt fresh, you can see her making the preparations and she has a beautiful energy, she shares a lot of what she does/know. Highly recommended!

Sano, nutritivo y absolutamente delicioso! todo lo que he probado me encantó y la presentación es hermosa! Recomiendo ampliamente.
