Roosterkoek is een van Suid-Afrika se oudste en mees geliefde kosse, diep gewortel in ons geskiedenis en kultuur. Hierdie eenvoudige, maar veelsydige broodjie het ontstaan in die dae van die Voortrekkers, wat deur die land gereis het met beperkte kookgeriewe.

Die konsep van brood wat oor kole gebak word, was nie net prakties nie – dit het vars en vullende kos verseker. Met net meel, water, sout, en gis, kon mense vinnig deeg maak, dit oor warm kole rooster, en vars brood geniet, selfs in die mees afgeleë gebiede.

Vandag is roosterkoek veel meer as net ‘n oorlewingsbrood. Dit simboliseer warmte, saamwees, en die hart van Suid-Afrikaanse koskultuur. Van geselligheid om ’n braaivleisvuur tot gourmet-weergawes met vulsels soos brie, biltong, en geroosterde groente – roosterkoek het met trots sy plek in ons harte en kombuise behou.

Het jy al jou gunsteling manier gevind om roosterkoek te geniet? Deel dit met ons! 🥖

Food with Thought

Our Journey started in 2015 when we met for the first time at O.R Tambo International airport. Both of us our way to Florida, USA. To work at the same Country club. Where we realized we have a mutual passion for hospitality, food and people.

We have always dreamed and trusted God for the opportunity to have our own product and live our own dream everyday. If you do what you love, you will never work a day.

We started Food with Thought because I want everyone to taste and love Francois food and as much as I do. I am extremely passionate about business, Francois passion and talent that God has given him.
