Rachel Caplan

A Creative Collage of Flavors

Image alt description

I create menus like collages, layering flavours from my travels into fresh, organic dishes. After 15 years in kitchens and catering, I craft tailored fine‑dining, market tours and cooking classes for every guest.

I first trained at Kingscliff TAFE, then adapted quickly at The Bay Retreats where every client had unique dietary needs. Continuous learning keeps my plates vibrant and health‑conscious.
