From garden to plate 🌿

There’s something special about growing your own produce, picking it fresh from the garden and bringing it straight into the kitchen.

Here’s Ash and Olgah at Ndaka a few weeks back, hand-selecting beautiful herbs, flowers, and vegetables for our kitchen training. Nothing compares to the flavour and the pride that comes from serving guests food grown with care right on site.

A while back, I was training the kitchen staff at a lodge in Zululand. Ash had work in Durban, and my good friend came through for a few days. It was so great having her there and sharing her love of wildlife! We don’t often get to share the places we work with friends, so it made the whole experience even more special.

She caught this awesome shot of a Malachite Kingfisher while she was with me. Isn’t it so beautiful!?
If you haven’t seen her work before, do yourself a favour and check it out, she has serious talent.

At Tastebuds, we love creating vegan and vegetarian dishes full of flavour and depth, dishes that don’t need substitutes to shine.

Many restaurants and lodges struggle to offer plant-based food that truly excites guests. This is where we come in.

Check out our Roasted Butternut with fragrant Chickpea Curry, topped with toasted almonds, served with basmati rice, sambals and chutney.

Simple vegetables, made with care, that taste incredible… and look just as delicious.
