Services
Maga Nómada offers intuitive, on-site cooking for retreats, holidays, and small gatherings.
I work closely with each group to create meals that fit the rhythm of the stay, the location, and the people at the table. There are no fixed menus — the food responds to season, availability, and the moment.
The focus is simple, nourishing food prepared from scratch, using local ingredients whenever possible. Meals are meant to support connection, ease, and daily life — not to perform or impress.
What I offer
Retreat Cooking
Nourishing meals designed to support the flow of retreats, workshops, and group experiences.
Private Chef for Holidays & Stays
Daily meals prepared on-site for families or small groups during holidays or extended stays.
Intimate Gatherings
Cooking for small groups coming together around food — dinners, celebrations, or shared time.
Each service is tailored to the group, the place, and the length of the stay.
How I work
I keep groups small to ensure quality, presence, and care.
I adapt to dietary needs and preferences when possible.
I value clear communication, flexibility, and simplicity.
Maga Nómada is best suited for people who value real food, thoughtful preparation, and a calm, grounded approach to cooking.
If this feels aligned with what you’re looking for,
I’d be happy to talk and see if we’re a good fit.
Brunch
$360, based on 6 guests
A relaxed, abundant brunch cooked from scratch and served family-style.
Expect seasonal fruit, yogurt, homemade granola, fresh bread or baked goods, eggs cooked to your liking, and a rotating selection of dishes inspired by your chosen cuisine—Costa Rican, Mediterranean, Mexican, or others.
Juice and good coffee are always part of the table.
This brunch is meant to be shared slowly, without rush—simple food, generous portions, and an easy rhythm to start the day together.
Dinner
$390, based on 6 guests
An intuitive, from-scratch dinner shaped by the night, the ingredients available, and your preferences.
The menu unfolds naturally and may include a thoughtfully prepared main (meat and/or vegetarian), seasonal vegetables, vibrant salads, soulful sides, fresh bread, and something sweet to finish.
This is not a fixed menu—it’s a responsive one.
Dinner is cooked with attention and served as a shared experience, meant to feel warm, nourishing, and grounded.
Multi-day
$600 based on 6 guests
A full day of cooking centered around brunch and dinner, designed to support long, slow days.
Each day includes:
A generous brunch to begin the day
A complete dinner in the evening
Everything is cooked from scratch using fresh, local ingredients whenever possible. Menus adapt to your preferences, dietary needs, and the rhythm of each day.
This service is offered as a multi-day experience, ideal for retreats, celebrations, or extended stays centered around food, rest, and connection.
Intimate, hands-on cooking sessions designed for small groups who want to learn by doing.
These sessions are practical and intuitive, focused on building confidence in the kitchen rather than following rigid recipes. We cook together, adapt as we go, and finish by sharing the meal we’ve prepared.
Classes are suited for groups of 2–8 people and can be hosted at your venue or a selected location.
Sessions can be tailored around specific themes, such as:
Cooking intuitively with what’s available
Reducing food waste and cooking with leftovers
Simple meal planning for the week
Plant-forward cooking
Baking basics
Preparing multi-course meals
All ingredients are provided, recipes are shared, and the experience concludes at the table.
These sessions are less about instruction and more about practice, curiosity, and learning to trust your own rhythm in the kitchen.

The Table at Balsa Nueva
Venue
Balsa Nueva Lodge - Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica
A two-night stay centered around food, land, and shared time.
Hosted at Balsa Nueva Lodge, “The Table” takes place high above the Golfo Dulce, surrounded by jungle, open views, and the rhythms of the farm. Guests stay in simple, rustic cabañas designed for rest, quiet, and connection to nature.
Meals are prepared by Maga Nómada using fresh, locally sourced ingredients—many harvested directly from the land. Food follows the pace of the place: unhurried, seasonal, and deeply nourishing. We gather around the table for generous meals, cooked from scratch and shaped by what the land offers in that moment.
This weekend is about slowing down, eating well, waking with the light, and sharing simple pleasures—good food, open views, and time held gently.
