She is a teacher of kundalini yoga, meditation and Breathwork facilitator. Until she was thirty years old she dedicated herself to the world of fashion, cinema and advertising, but a strong existential and health crisis led her to break with everything and adopt a new way of understanding and living life. Since then, her work has focused on the dissemination of what is related to recovering our consciousness, harmony, health and capacity for transformation through the encounter with nature and inner listening. Her approach to food is inspired by nature and her conviction that, in natural food, in the reunion with the essence, as well as in the respect of the processes of our biology, is our medicine. She has written 2 books: Natural Nutrition (2023)
Y Ama, come, vive, brilla (2018).
ROSSINA WALTER - CHEF GRUPO ATZARÓ & CONSULTORA
Chef & Consultant for the Atzaró Group. She has developed her foundation and experience since she was a child, always in contact with the vegetable garden and the country life of her grandparents. The women in her family were great cooks and she later began to cook for her family. Curiously self-taught, she began working for the Atzaró Group in its Aubergine restaurant with a proposal of home-made, simple, healthy and Mediterranean food, with nods to various cultures. Years later she began to collaborate in the preparation of the menus of the other restaurants of the Atzaró Group, also based on local and seasonal produce. At the Atzaró Agrotourism they have a huge vegetable garden that supplies the group with a wide variety of vegetables, aromatic herbs and fruits. Originally an orange farm, with which they make jams and liqueur. This year they have presented the recipe book: Aubergine BY ATZARÓ, with watercolor illustrations by Mónica Matheu. The motivation behind this book is for people to cook more, to see that it is easy to eat, healthy, varied and to return to nature, to products from the countryside, artisanal and traditional.
