About me
Viki Frau, plant-based private chef in Lanzarote
Food that moves and surprises
I'm Viki Frau. I've spent over ten years cooking for retreats and groups in Lanzarote and the Canary Islands. I trained in vegetarian nutrition and macrobiotics, and plant-based cooking became my craft.
Why Lanzarote? For its light, its volcanic landscape and a calm that brings you back to what matters. Here I cook in villas and retreat venues, and I walk into every kitchen as someone you can trust.
I don't believe in plant-based food that tries to be something else. I believe in cooking with its own identity: slow-roasted vegetables, surprising crunch and sauces that wake up your palate. My favourite moment is hearing someone say they don't miss a thing.
"My job isn't just feeding your group. It's making sure you don't have to worry about anything in the kitchen."

What you can count on
01
I cook in your kitchen
Nothing arrives in trays, nothing is reheated. Every dish is made and served fresh, at your villa or retreat.
02
Seasonal produce
Always natural, organic whenever possible. The best of every time of year.
03
Trust and warmth
Close, never intrusive. I fit into the rhythm of your group or family, like one of the household.
04
A clean kitchen, nothing wasted
I make the most of every ingredient and leave the kitchen cleaner than I found it. You can forget the washing up.
Shall we talk about your retreat or villa?
Tell me your dates, group and venue, and I'll prepare a tailored proposal.
No commitment. I'll reply within 48 hours.
