A New Addition to the Kitchen 👨‍🍳

Meet the new Kenwood Titanium Chef Baker XL! 🙌

My good old Russell Hobbs mixer has been with me for the past 7 years — from when we first started making macarons to helping me with countless catering jobs along the way. It’s been a proper workhorse!

But it was definitely time for an upgrade, and this Kenwood Titanium Chef Baker XL is going to be a game changer. The bowl is almost double the size of my old mixer, giving us so much more capacity for production. 💪

Here’s to the next chapter and many more years of creating in the kitchen! 👨‍🍳🔥

A Taste of Home 🌿🇿🇦

On 1 August, we had the pleasure of catering a very special 60th birthday brunch in beautiful Kommetjie.

Our client, originally from South Africa and now living in America, came home to celebrate her 60th with friends and family she hadn’t seen in a long time. ❤️

She wanted a menu that celebrated South African flavours with a touch of fynbos, so we created a custom brunch menu featuring some old favourites alongside brand-new dishes created especially for her celebration.

From local Cap Classique and our “Bronwyn” Mimosa to bobotie tartlets, biltong crostini, smoked snoek pâté, peri-peri chicken skewers, smoked trout Eggs Benedict, rooibos-infused waffles, milk tarts and koeksisters — it was a real taste of home.

We believe the best food starts from scratch, so wherever possible, our dishes are made in-house using quality local ingredients, with every element prepared with care and attention to detail.

The weather was absolutely perfect, and Kommetjie provided the most beautiful setting for a relaxed day of food, family and celebration.

We also looked after the bar, while our sister company AR Evnts, led by Alison, took care of the event setup and styling.

The feedback from our client and her guests was incredible, with so many compliments on the flavours, presentation and attention to detail.

And hearing that we helped make her 60th birthday so special meant the world to us. ❤️

Thank you for trusting Chefs Pantry to be part of such a memorable celebration.

🎉 WE GOT THE JOB!!

On Tuesday we shared our tasting day for a potential conference event — and just three days later we can officially announce WE'RE IN! 🙌

This September, Chefs Pantry will be catering for 300 guests — our biggest event to date — serving 900 bowls of food across a full bowl food menu that had our clients saying "flavour explosion" and "I've never had something so amazing." We haven't forgotten those words, and we plan to deliver every single one of those 900 bowls at that exact same standard. 💪

From Lamb, Chorizo & Red Pepper Ragù to Tandoori Chicken, Wild Mushroom Risotto, Beef Chilli Con Carne Nachos and a stunning dessert canapé spread — this is going to be one seriously memorable event. 🍮🫙🍫

To our new clients — thank you for trusting us with your big day. We absolutely cannot wait to deliver.

September can't come soon enough! 🔥
