Moekie was the heart of our family—soft-spoken, warm, and always ready with a comforting meal or a kind word. Through life’s many challenges, she stood strong, never wavering in her love and devotion to those around her. With an open heart and a listening ear, she was a safe place for her children, grandchildren, and anyone who needed her.

​

For more than 72 years, Moekie poured her soul into cooking. Her meals weren’t just food—they were comfort, care, and love served on a plate. From simple family dinners around a wooden kitchen table to special events and corporate functions across South Africa, the reputation of her food grew far beyond what she ever imagined.

​

People would drive for kilometers just to taste her legendary cooking—rich, hearty dishes made with the kind of attention only a grandmother can give. Her kitchen was always filled with the smell of stews, roasts, and baked delights—each bite a memory, a moment……a hug in disguise.

​

She was a pillar in our lives, an inspiration to many, and deeply loved by all who knew her. Her food comforted generations and brought people together.

​

Today, as her grandchildren, we honour her legacy by bringing Moekie’s cooking to the public once more. Every dish we prepare carries her heart, her lessons, and her love. It’s our way of sharing the warmth, comfort, and tradition she so generously gave us—with you. Just the way she taught us.
