Food Philosophy
I'm sure we've all had awful cocktail party/finger food, what a friend refers to as 'brown food', lots of pastry and not much substance. I've also had fantastic catered food at events and friends gatherings. I'd like to fit into the latter category, so my philosophy is simple, "If I wouldn't eat it, I won't serve it". As a general rule, I try to make everything from scratch, or I source the best readymade products available, from pasta to pates etc. Sometimes I couldn't do it better myself, so I don't. I use the best quality fresh ingredients I can find. Most of the herbs I use in my cooking are organically grown in my own garden. I also only use free range eggs in everything I make (I have free range and Halaal options available for all my meals, obviously at a slightly higher cost.) I also only use butter in baking and good quality olive oil in most of my meals (curry aside!)

A Commitment to Quality

Making food is a labour of time and love. It requires investing a little bit of yourself into everything you make. From my perspective, running a successful small catering business also requires a commitment to quality - if I wouldn’t eat it, I won’t serve it.

My mom has often suggested I use less expensive ingredients, or that I substitute margarine for butter as it brings down costs: this is a small margin, large investment and labour-intensive business. The answer: I won’t compromise! In simple terms, if a recipe calls for butter, I use butter.

I am also committed to cooking meals from scratch. I am the first to admit that I frequent the isles of supermarkets looking for readymade meals when I am too tired to cook - yes even caterers get tired of cooking. But I have found that the food is full of preservatives, additives and ingredients I can’t pronounce. So when I cook the meals I serve and deliver, I make everything from scratch, unless I can find a better whole food, good-quality option, like pasta for example. Sometimes I couldn't do it better myself, so I don't.

I also grow some of my own ingredients - most of the herbs I use in my cooking are organically grown in my own garden. I also only use free range eggs in everything I make (I have free range and Halaal options available for all my meals, obviously at a slightly higher cost.) I also only use butter in baking and good quality olive oil in most of my meals (curry aside!)
