Charity cookbook in memory of my incredible mom, Shally Tucker. A homage to her cooking, creativity & joie de vivre. Proceeds donated to Dermatrust

The Social Kitchen Cookbook

We grew up in a Jewish South African inspired 'madhouse' in London where my parents entertained family and friends constantly. The number of guests would range anywhere from two to a casual 50. Our friends would turn up at all hours of the day with the understanding that there was always something to eat...and there always was. From cakes, salads and roast dinners, one

thing was always certain...no one would leave hungry. My mother had her firm spot at our kitchen table. Despite her suffering from several illnesses, she was always busy making and creating something. But, she never did anything alone. If friends intended to come visit for a quick cup of tea; they would inevitably stay all day to help roll out the dough or chop the vegetables. My mother had the ability to include, create, empathize and listen. Our kitchen table bears the tears and joys of all of our friends and family. It holds the tribulations and triumphs that were quietly revealed to my mother while she was preparing something delicious for everyone to enjoy. Our mother's kitchen is still the soul of our home. This cookbook honors her energy, effervescence and joie de vivre. It is designed to encapsulate my mother’s philosophy: to encourage people to cook, to enjoy life, to give back, to entertain, to create, and to have fun. It’s her book of wisdom, humour and quirky ideologies. It is the perfect tribute to a flawless wife, mother and daughter. The book will feature recipes, stories and even some of her crafty ideas. All of which built the foundations of the ‘Social Kitchen’, which we grew up in, and love!!! All proceeds from the sale of this book go to Dermatrust (The Dermatitis and Allied Diseases Research Trust). Dermatrust is a registered charity, which aims to improve the treatment and care of skin diseases through supporting the advancement of research and treatment of benign and malignant diseases of the skin.

One of the most important lessons I’ve learned as a business owner is that everything we do is a learning experience. From the good to the bad, every mistake, every win, is essential for growth. These moments teach me such valuable lessons and help grow The Social Kitchen!⁠
⁠
Another big lesson? Trust your team! I’ve seen businesses that are overly strict or unfair with their teams, but trust and communication make all the difference. A team is meant to work together, and when you trust and support them, it helps everyone move forward!

Why I started The Social Kitchen...

I started The Social Kitchen because I saw a gap in the market for a one-stop shop that covers every detail for event planning. From event tableware TICK to props for decorating your table TICK, cleaning services TICK, creative styling TICK and an expert team to bring your vision to life! When I opened my kitchen photography studios this year, I realised there isn’t anywhere can you find two fully functioning kitchen studios, a props library just steps away, on-site cleaning for your food stylists, and parking .. in London!

I have created a seamless, hassle-free experience. Let us take the hassle out of the planning and make it a truly memorable and fun experience for you! ✨

07/12/2024

Creating a beautiful Christmas table is one of the most special parts of the holiday season! It sets the tone and vibe for the entire evening, and trust me, when guests walk in, their reaction is always the same—ooooo! ✨

Simply get in touch with us to book a visit to our showroom, where you can hand-pick your pieces. Or, if you prefer, you can browse our collection online. Our team will then take care of the rest—selecting your pieces, packaging everything up, and delivering it straight to your door.

Once the event is over, just rinse the plates, and we’ll come back to pick everything up and take care of the cleaning! It’s as easy as that!

Founder to Founder #4 with @blondies! What an absolute joy it was to have @kristellekeisner and @chelsiegazdar as my fourth guests for the Founder To Founder series. Hearing their stories as founders is always so inspiring and endlessly fascinating. Hosting Founder to Founder has been such an incredible journey. Standing in my own studio, talking to amazing business owners, feels surreal at times—but also exactly where I’m meant to be! Comment for the cookie recipe! 🍪

Founder to Founder #3 with @thisismothership ! What an amazing morning we had filming this episode. I absolutely loved having @gemmarosebreger and @samantha_silver_ at @thesocialkitchenstudio and this wasn’t their first time in Studio A! They have been filming TIM TV here! It’s been so much fun working with them and getting to know them! 💚 Any guesses who our next guest (or should I say guests) will be for the 4th episode?...

Founder To Founder #episode3 Coming soon… Love Dani xx @thisismothership @the_social_kitchen @thesocialkitchenstudio

Join @nataliechassay and me in my kitchen @thesocialkitchenstudio as we whip up a few of her amazing recipes! @the_social_kitchen @NatalieChassay @thesocialkitchenstudio - Studio A Line DM us for the full recipe!🍴

I’m incredibly proud of my collection of event tableware that we have put together because each piece fits in like part of a family. We are also excited to be designing and creating new additions to the collection, making our tables even more exciting! Can’t wait to show you!🩷

What a journey it has been and it feels like I am just getting started! The growth of The Social Kitchen, from the team to the collections to the Studio’s and even moving into a bigger space, is truly a dream come true. Starting with just a dream and a vision, turning it into a thriving business where people enjoy coming every day, is exactly what I envisioned for The Social Kitchen. At its heart, The Social Kitchen represents community, warmth, creativity and legacy. I know my mom would be so proud of what I have created. Excited to see what the future holds ✨
