various cooking methods andtechniques to produce high quality soups,

sauces and desserts, withthat hand-made, artisan taste and feel.

* Why was Soul Food been set up?

The specific training we provide is with the intention to then employ

them into our food production kitchen. Since we started fulloperation in March 2010, we have 9 trainees of which 7 have

attainedthe basic food hygiene certification through our one-on-one

approachto training and coaching.

The trainees under-go different stages of training in preparing modern

european cuisine, sauces, soups and desserts. These products feature

as set menus in our private dinners at our restaurant premise and sold

as ready-to-serve products to other cafes/restaurants.
