WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
During my bariatric surgery journey, we were fortunate to discover the Nutrition Kitchen and their incredible ready-made meals. These meals were a true blessing, providing me with delicious and nutritious options when I couldn't manage meal preparation. These meals also helped my wife as she didn’t have to worry about making me different meals to the rest of the family. The portion sizes were spot-on for each stage of my healing process, taking the guesswork out of my dietary needs. What set the Nutrition Kitchen apart was the personal touch they added to every meal. Beverley, the mastermind behind these culinary delights, not only ensured the quality of the food but also provided exceptional support. Her dedication and commitment to my well-being were truly heartwarming. I wholeheartedly recommend Nutrition Kitchen to anyone navigating the challenges of pre- and post-bariatric surgery recovery. The combination of convenience, taste, and caring service made all the difference in my healing journey.

When I decided to go ahead with the operation, I was happy & excited with the prospect & idea of becoming healthy & thin again. I was at one of my darkest times, I had high blood pressure, cholesterol, heart palpitations & the lowest self-esteem, and I was just ready to give up!! ...but after my first appointment with Prof Tess, I was super excited but also very stressed out about the way I was going to find time in my busy schedule to buy, prepare, cook, portion & pack all the different meals that I was to eat every day on this new journey.... That's when I heard the name... "Bev, can help with the pre made meals!" She was my lifeline when I needed one the most! Bev is such an inspirational woman! She has been down the same path as us, is always ready to give advice & a word of encouragement, when I have an off day! Beautiful & Charming...& her FOOD is exceptional. Such a variety, 5 Star, packed & labeled... What a pleasure to just take it out of the freezer, pop it into the Microwave & eat!! I recommend her product 100%.

TEMPERED INDULGENCE - What does this mean?
Tempered according to the dictionary means to dilute, qualify, or soften by the addition or influence of something else / to make something less.
Bariatric patients are a community of people who have made a conscious decision to alter their life surgically and with it their physiological relationship with food to be healthier.
There are changes in what and the way we eat but no one wants to be different. But we do want to live normal lives and eat the nice things in life. This first South African Bariatric cookbook does just what the definition says,
“Cook the nice and yummy things by adding something else to take the place of the nasties!”
Recipes are tempered and balanced according to allowable portions and yet retain their original taste and flavour.
