Moemas Welcome to where exceptional food meets quality ingredients and seasonal flavors. The original Moema is a woman called Joy Anderson – Danielle’s grandmother.

From curated menus to cooking classes, we bring you the best of gourmet dining and the joy of creating it yourself. 🍽 Tap below to explore our menus, recipes, and more! To make a Moemas you need:

1 homesick South African in London – that’s me, Danielle
1 Englishman who was ready to relocate to the other side of the world if it made Danielle happy – that’s me, Mike

Danielle’s 8 years of training as a pastry chef and working for some of the best eateries in the city, including Baker and Spice, Sally Clarkes and Ottolenghi’s
A huge dollop of excited belief that the best of these places could be brought back to South Africa

Ideas and plans baked as we grew a catering business from our home kitchen (one which now continues in the very much bigger kitchen of Moemas)…
We wanted Moemas to be about joy, beauty, quality, and all the things that are important to us – like good people, good, fresh food, cakes and pastries, made daily on the premises, with seasonal produce, and only the best quality ingredients… We also wanted it to be about family and so Moemas is very much a family business. She is called ‘Moema’ by all her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, because her eldest granddaughter, Niven, not being able to say Ouma, called her Moema instead…

Lunch is served
Chicken and coriander matzo meatballs... the matzo crumbs make these so tender, the original recipe adds them to a ginger, chicken stock broth with rice noodles and crispy chillie oil, which is also on our menu.... but we also pan very them and serve them alongside delicious side dishes

Like roast butternut wedges with a charred sweetcorn and feta crumble

The most refreshing beetroot, daikon and apple salad with a light apple cider vinaigrette

Herby couscous with pink peppercorns, lemon zest and some more feta

As always, inspired by the fabulous

Aubergine, mozzarella and pinenut polpette...a recipe i received 25 🫨 years ago from a fabulous Italian chef

And then The/Our custard slice... crispy puff pastry, brushed with a little apricot jam, real vanilla and lots of it custard with berries and mini meringues for extra pretty!

Baked lemon cheesecake

We always have excess egg whites.... because we make our own lemon curd, pastry and pastry cream - which require vast quantities of yolks.... so, we use our mini meringues for decor... mooi ne?

Repeat customers are the best compliment!
We get to be a part of this couples special days, every year.... and it's been for at least 10 years.... what a pleasure! Same cake every time, it chiffon cake, the vanilla one is made with orange juice and lots of real vanilla. The cake tastes like the cake version of custard!
The original recipe was made in a chiffon tin and the recipe was kindly shared with me by the fabulous . We met in London years and years ago when the very first book was a pile of pages on a dining room table in flat in nottinghill.

Helen brought this cake, still warm from the oven, upside down on a plate as a gift to the evening.

It's heavenly and has been a part of our menu, in many different forms for close on 20 years

The generosity of chefs who will effortlessly share their recipes and knowledge is one of the things I miss most about my time in London

I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of Helen's latest creation. Her book,
