Our Kitchen
What does kosher mean?
Perhaps you've heard the word kosher before but aren't quite sure what it means. Put simply, it refers to the Jewish dietary laws and the way food is prepared.
At Chef on Wheels, kosher has always been the foundation of our kitchen. This comes from our own Jewish background and applies to everything we prepare, including food for clients who don't keep kosher themselves.
What does that mean in practice?
Under the Jewish dietary laws, known as kashrut, certain foods aren't permitted. So we don't use pork or shellfish. Meat and dairy are kept strictly separate, and we work with ingredients and equipment that belong in our kosher kitchen.
None of this needs to be complicated for you. Just tell us what you enjoy and what you have in mind, and we'll put together a menu that works within our kitchen.
Vegetarian, Vegan & Lactose-Free
The way a kosher kitchen is organised also suits many common dietary requirements.
Because meat and dairy are strictly separated in a kosher kitchen, we're very accustomed to cooking completely without dairy. This gives us plenty of options for guests with a lactose intolerance. Our way of working also offers plenty of possibilities for vegetarian and vegan food.
Vegetarian, vegan or lactose-free food should never feel like a second choice. Above all, it should simply be delicious and sit just as naturally alongside the rest of the menu.
If keeping kosher is important to you
Our kitchen remains kosher at all times, including when we cater for non-Jewish clients.
We do not operate under rabbinical supervision. If supervision is required or you have specific requirements regarding kashrut, please discuss them with us in advance so we can see what may be possible.
