Fabulous Free-from Food

After 20 years in a corporate environment Christine van Niekerk needed a change. Then two years ago she met Danelle van Rooyen – a Christina Martin Culinary Art School graduate with 10 years’ experience in the food industry – who helped her cope with a specialised diet based on food allergies. Christine realised there was a gap in the market for ready-made, allergy-free food that is both delicious and healthy.

“At FreeFromFood, Danelle curates our meals and treats to cater for food allergies and varied dietary requirements, creating healthy dishes the whole family can enjoy. Based on my years of experience in managing brands and businesses, I am bringing in these skills to get our new venture off the ground,” says Christine. “In doing so, I ultimately hope to help others who are struggling to provide nutritious free-from meals and treats like I did.”

Christine is excited about taking all the worry of researching, planning and preparing meals away from you. “Danelle and I have fun in the kitchen creating, testing and cooking great quality food, without compromising on our no dairy, gluten and egg policy – and any other food allergy you can throw at us,” says Christine. “This provides you with a wide variety of new dishes and flavours that are based on seasonality and food trends.” There is a fabulous vegan selection, but also delicious meaty dishes. “Our vegetables are locally sourced and organic, where possible. Our meat is free-range and free from added antibiotics and hormones,” says Christine.

“Our dream is to ease the burden of many busy professionals and parents by making our free-from food products easily accessible in major retailers and health stores,” concluded Christine.
