Why the name?

14/06/2018

When I launched this business in 2015, it was not a new path for me- rather a rebranding and focussing of my passions and skills to something that felt “right” – something that represented me and my vision for my life and my work. But, although this was a highly personal change and a “new start” of sorts – my general style and approach to life is “less about me and more about others” (like those I feed, train and engage with in creating food). So, when thinking about my style, the process I wanted to indulge in (going forward) and the basically the reality of food… I came up with the following (literally scribbled into my journal at the time);

“No single morsel of food can be enjoyed without a process of collaboration that has allowed it (the food) to grow from the earth or feed off the earth. From the collaboration between the nature and the farmer to the market and ultimately the cook – food is its essence is a product of collaboration! I want to work with clients to produce delightful food experiences that are of the place, for the place and ultimately a product of collaboration for the people”!

So, I named my business CollaborATE Food. And so, began a delicious delightful adventure that inspires and challenges me daily.

All the feels for these colours - and this delish All the feels for these colours - and this delish Spiced Sorghum Pancake stack with cashew brittle and lots of fresh oranges. Breakfast at Biyela Lodge at @mfulawozi_wilderness takes inspiration from seasonal ingredients and local zulu food stories as the private wilderness concession is in the heart of Zululand on the banks of the mighty White iMfolozi River. Head Chef Sam and his team at Biyela (headed by Chef Bongo) have been a dream to work with in bringing the mFulaWozi food story to life!

Nothing like a little tea time spoil on Safari. De Nothing like a little tea time spoil on Safari. Despite some of my clients lodges and camps having wonderful detailed and elaborate “high teas” - I do ultimately love to keep it simple and classic for guests who have either just eaten lunch or aren’t used to the heat and eating mid afternoon 🌞. 
A delicious seasonal and light cake is a must (like this little carrot & pineapple layer cake- great for summer). Then I always have a healthier treat on offer - like these little blueberry protein bites or fresh fruit for the win (plus a savoury bite too- not pictured).
