Dear Nonhlanha
⭐️ Congratulations on TEN YEARS at We are Food ⭐️
Jane remembers meeting you at the Unilever kitchen 11 years ago, you stood out from the crowd immediately. You were professional, confident and poised in your role as a trainee, it helped settle Jane's nerves seeing another young woman tackle an intimidating male-dominated space like you did, like a real lady can!

When it came to taking the first big leap at We are Food and bringing on a team member, you too took a big scary leap and left the safety of the corporate world to dive into the unknown.

From those early days in our parents’ kitchen, arriving in your chef’s whites, we felt a little embarrassed that we couldn’t offer you the slick kitchen you were accustomed to. But, with the utmost class you settled in, got stuck in and took every challenge on the chin.

With the growth of We are Food, we moved, we brought on new team members and some scary second hand equipment… and you my friend were the first to put up your hand to scrub a grubby shelf from an auction, or fill in as scullery when someone let us down. This is the epitome of leadership.

We couldn’t quite comprehend all the pressures on you as a working mum, until we entered that role in life too.
This has given us even more admiration for the way you tackle life’s challenges. You have that determination that no one can shake, you can't fake, it comes from some place deep within you.
You are calm
You are courageous
You are intelligent
You are so talented
You have great instinct
You are caring
You are empathetic
You are so uniquely you

You being in this business is God-ordained. Some might call it luck, but we know God knew all along that you and were destined to be part of our team. You are one of the reasons we have always felt so confident to pursue new ventures, exciting opportunities, because we know Nonhlanhla has our back.

Thank you for choosing us, for bringing your best every single day.

Our Butter Chicken has had a minor makeover! 🐔🐔
We have always added a few roasted butternut cubes to our Butter Chicken dish.
Why, you may ask?
Simply because, 12 years ago when Jane started We are Food out of her parent’s kitchen, she thought the inclusion of perfectly roasted pieces of butternut in a curry would just be delicious.
Twelve years on, our customer base has grown substantially, and it turns out not everyone agrees with her sentiment on this harmless little addition.
So after much back and forth & months of debate we have decided to remove it from this best selling dish and increased the amount of chicken included.
Look out for the new & improved recipe in the latest batch of Butter Chicken, and let us know what you think.

There's a reason our Naturally Gluten Free and Lower Carb Country Chicken Bake hits all the right spots... it's seriously delish!
Combining roasted chicken pieces, spinach and slow-cooked Italian tomato sauce with oven-roasted butternut, our famous cauliflower cream sauce and a Cheddar-thyme sprinkling, it's nourishing yet not over indulgent.
Simply heat from frozen in your oven or air fryer.

Our Story

We are Food is a family run business, based in Durban, South Africa. Started in 2013 out of demand for healthy home-cooked meals, we prepare wholesome, tasty and affordable frozen dishes that can be enjoyed anywhere.
It’s quite simple, we want to cook for you as you would cook for your own family in your own home… maybe a little better! This means buying ingredients we actually use in our own kitchen, and methods that have been tried and tested by us for many years. Hard work combined with talent and passion is our recipe for something tasty.

We currently deliver around KZN, and parts of Gauteng and the Western Cape. Please visit our website https://wearefood.co.za/pages/delivery for more information on how to order.
