ABOUT FTLYB

Food that loves you back | Catering | Harvest | Platters | Grazing Tables | Cape Town | Private Chef

Food That Loves You Back is a catering company and published recipe book founded by Amerae Vercueil, built on a simple belief: good, nutritious food should be enjoyed, shared and celebrated.

Before entering the culinary world full-time, Amerae worked as a professional model. It was during those years that her relationship with food became complicated, leading her to discover a more balanced and nourishing way of eating. That journey became the inspiration behind Food That Loves You Back, her cookbook published in 2023. A collection of recipes created to celebrate food that is both wholesome and deeply satisfying, without restriction or guilt.

Today, Amerae is a qualified chef with over 12 years experience in the food industry. She is a certified nutritional coach and cookbook author, bringing together her experience in food, wellness and hospitality through every event she creates. Whether catering an intimate private dinner, a wedding, a film production or a large corporate gathering, her philosophy remains the same: fresh, seasonal food made with care, designed to bring people together and leave them feeling well looked after.

At Food That Loves You Back, every menu is rooted in the belief that the best food doesn't just taste good; it makes you feel good, too.
