Bettina Campolucci Bordi is an acclaimed plant-based chef, is a fervent advocate for plant foods. With her Danish-Tanzanian-Bulgarian roots, she uses local and seasonal produce to create dishes that nourish the body and soul.

Bettina has carved a niche in recipe development for high-profile brands and the hospitality industry, focusing on maximizing the potential of plant foods. Her culinary talents are showcased in her three well-received cookbooks: Happy Food, 7 Day Vegan Challenge, and Celebrate. The latter book, as the name implies, is a joyous collection of plant-based recipes that everyone can enjoy.

Her passion for food can be traced back to her multicultural childhood. Bettina fondly
remembers haggling for the freshest produce in Tanzania's markets and being enamoured by the culinary skills of her relatives in Bulgaria, Sweden and Norway. She's drawn from these experiences and her extensive travels to infuse her dishes with a global touch.

Beyond cookbooks, Bettina endeavours span food and mindfulness retreats, plant-based cooking workshops, pop ups, food writing, and her widely popular Retreat Chef Academy. A consistent thread in all her work is her unwavering belief in eating seasonally, locally, and waste-free. Bettina’s mission is to dispel the misconception that plant-based eating is dull, pricey, or inconvenient. Her goal is to inspire more people to embrace a plant-rich diet and to celebrate food, life, and camaraderie.
