About the Teacher

Why study with them?

Russ first came to Mal Pais, Costa Rica in 2006 from the south coast of England. Lured here by the waves, he soon fell in love with the lush jungle, beautiful beaches and array of organically grown, local, fresh foods that were available. He originally worked as a surf instructor while he ran a guest house with his uncle, but his hunger for good food and his passion for sharing it with others led him to cook for guests and to host many dinner parties. He went on to work with some of the best chefs in the area and created his private event & retreat catering company, V Chef. His personal journey has led me to being an advocate for plant-based cuisine. Russ enjoys co-creating with the medicine to turn out epic adventures & exploration.
