I am so grateful that you’RE here

My relationship with food is deep and profound. But that's not because I'm a chef. It's because I'm human. Through food, preparing and sharing it, we connect to the earth, to our ancestors and to future generations.

I want to remind you of that connection. I want to help you heal all of the ways that our conditioning has damaged the connection we have to what nourishes us.

I also want to teach you how to cook kick ass vegan food that everyone will love.

In all things I do for my work - whether it be catering weddings, Secret Creek events, my cooking course, or my content and books - I aim to empower you to align your lifestyle with your ethics. To rekindle the deep connection to food that is innately human and that reminds you of who you are.

So, who amI?

I am a vegan chef, mother of three very cute kids and a business owner. I changed the menu of my restaurant Secret Creek Cafe to 100% vegan in 2015 and in 2017 I started a vegan catering company to keep up with the growing demand for high end vegan food for weddings and other special events. I fell in love with cooking for special occasions when I saw how significant the role of food is in ceremony and the coming together to share intention.

I am as passionate about human rights and other social justice issues as I am about veganism. I choose to live my life aiming to cause the least amount of harm to myself and others. Everything I do centres around this purpose and I try to learn and do better every day.

► CONNECTION TO YOUR INGREDIENTS & WHERE THEY COME FROM

► CONNECTION TO THE PROCESS & HOW YOU FEEL WHILE YOU’RE IN THE MOMENT… HOW YOU REALLY FEEL

► CONNECTION TO WHO YOU ARE NURTURING, AND WHY. WHETHER THAT IS YOURSELF OR YOUR LOVES

Taking the time to build and nurture that connection will do more for your cooking skills than reading 10000 cookbooks.
(yes, even mine)

Tenille and her amazing team were professional and organised leading up to and on the big day itself. What we thought would be a stressful experience ultimately became enjoyable and surprisingly fun! From the delicious vegan set menu, grazing table and wedding cake, to the beautifully designed flower arrangements at reception and even my own flower crown, Tenille worked her magic and made our wedding day a total breeze. The Secret Creek sanctuary was the perfect venue for us to hold our wedding – a tranquil and rustic part of the Blue Mountains which we fell in love with instantly. We could not have asked for a better team to help plan our wedding and it was a truly perfect day for us and our loved ones.

Tenille did such a wonderful job of helping us create the wedding that was perfect for us. The reception was decorated beautifully and exceeded my expectations. The food and cake was incredible tasting food and all of the guests loved it! We loved our wedding so much and have Tenille to thank for that. I highly recommend Secret Creek Cafe for your event or wedding!

My husband and I got married at Secret Creek at the end of March and we could not have asked for a more perfect day. We had our ceremony on site in the bush setting, it was covered in moss and the little creek was gurgling away, it was just magical. The Reception space was lovely and homely, making everyone feel comfortable, with space for our guests to chat as well as dance. Tenille and Tara aswell as Trevor were amazing to work with, happy to talk to us as many times as we wanted to get every detail perfect, and it was. Tenille did all the decorating of the space as well as the amazing vegan food, and we were obsessed with both. It was exactly the vibe that I wanted on my big day, and super special with the rustic setting and wild animals wandering around. Tenille also made our wedding cake and it was beautiful. Overall we can't recommend having a wedding at Secret Creek highly enough, it ticked every box in terms of communication, flexibility, budget, and an insanely beautiful setting. They are also super lovely to top it all off, and I wish them all the best with both the business as well as the sanctuary.

“The moment we met Tenille (and tried her food) everything about our wedding became simpler. From menu planning and styling, right through to setting up our venue and surprising our family and friends with dish after dish of amazing vegan food, Tenille took the time to understand what we were looking for and went above and beyond to bring it all together. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without Tenille and her team.”

- Bell & Matt

"Thank you so much for your absolute expertise in styling, setting up for and hosting/running our wedding on Saturday. It couldn't have gone better in our opinion ...I heard many comments from our guests about the food, the styling and the atmosphere - everyone was really impressed."

“Tenille was amazing! She was such a pleasure to work and plan with - she so easily understood exactly what we were looking for and amidst all he chaos of planning a wedding it was such a relief to know that you've found someone you can trust completely and know that you are on the same page. Tenille created the most stunning table setting and was beyond anything I'd imagined when I briefed her on 'elvish, ethereal, little bit medieval-ish' - she just ran with it and the result was spectacular. The food was absolutely amazing and both the vegan and non-vegan guests raved about it. We still often drool at the memories of the sweet potato croquettes!”

"Can not express in words how amazing this venue is! I would recommend this venue to anyone in a heartbeat! The styling was incredible, Tenille went above and beyond to make all my ideas come to life. Food AMAZING The whole wedding was relaxing and everything was taken care of"
