Sophie Rose Gaia: Culinary Artist and Holistic Nutrition Teacher
Sophie Rose Gaia is a London-based natural culinary artist and holistic nutrition teacher whose work beautifully blends the nourishment of Mother Earth with the rich flavours of global culinary traditions. Her unique approach to cooking channels the essence of authentic home-cooking while integrating modern holistic nutritional knowledge, creating dishes that not only delight the palate but also nurture the body and soul.
Passion for Natural Ingredients
Sophie is passionate about using organic, unprocessed, and locally produced seasonal ingredients.

Her culinary expertise spans Asian and Mediterranean cuisines, where she creates dishes in her signature clean and exquisite style.
Influences and Heritage
Sophie's culinary journey is profoundly influenced by her diverse heritage and experiences. Her grandfather, a head chef in China, instilled in her a deep appreciation for the art of cooking. Additionally, her global living during her former career in finance exposed her to a variety of culinary traditions and flavours - both in the elegant fine-dining restaurants and tiny eateries in the hidden alleys - enriching her culinary repertoire. This blend of cultural heritage and global experience shapes her unique approach to cooking.
Holistic Nutrition and Artistry
As a certified holistic nutrition teacher, Sophie educates others on the importance of nurturing wellbeing with love and living in harmony with nature. Her teachings emphasize the connection between nutrition and overall health, encouraging others to make mindful choices that support both personal and environmental wellness.
Beyond her culinary talents, Sophie is also a floral painter, expressing her creativity and love for nature through art. Her work, both in cooking and in art, inspires others to embrace a life of balance, beauty, and harmony.
