Bee’s Kitchen

by Catarina M.

Bee’s Kitchen by Catarina M. is a plant-based catering studio based in Portugal. We create seasonal vegan menus for retreats, weddings, and private celebrations. Each gathering is approached with care: food as a gesture of welcome, a table as a stage for memory.Our catering is not mass-produced. It is composed — rooted in local produce, guided by the seasons, and designed to harmonize with the atmosphere of your event. From intimate dinners to countryside retreats, Bee’s Kitchen offers plant-based catering that is elegant, nourishing, and unforgettable.


“With food we can share and communicate our emotions. It's that mindset of sharing that is really what you're eating.” — Chef Jeong Kwan


At the heart of Bee’s Kitchen is Catarina M., who believes food is more than nourishment — it is storytelling. Every dish is a sentence, every table a chapter. Her approach is intuitive and poetic, shaped by listening before cooking, gathering before serving.

Her work is quiet, intentional, and deeply personal. With Bee’s Kitchen Catering, she transforms meals into experiences that linger long after the last plate is cleared.

Alongside catering, we introduce Bee’s Knees Vegan Creamery — our small-batch collection of artisanal vegan cheeses. Aged with patience, wrapped in cedar, and paired with herbs or fruit, these cheeses are crafted to surprise and to linger.

Bee’s Kitchen also offers a modest collection of vegan pantry goods: seasonal preserves, infused oils, herbal salts, and syrups. These are not commodities, but keepsakes — small vessels of memory, crafted to be gifted, shared, or quietly savored.


Follow Bee’s Knees on Facebook and Instagram to discover our vegan cheeses.


Bee’s Kitchen is available throughout Portugal. Whether you are planning a retreat, a wedding, or a private celebration, we welcome the chance to create something lasting with you.
