Under the helm of founder and creative director, Hannerie Visser, Studio H has built a reputation as one of South Africa\u2019s leading food-focused design companies. The team offers innovative brand solutions, concentrating on content production, trend forecasting, immersive brand experiences, and more. It\u2019s with this same exploratory mindset that Studio H has launched its latest new venture alongside celebrated executive chef, Jenny Ward.<\/p>\n

The dynamic duo now offer a new service \u2018catering with a difference\u2019, which promises to turn eventing fare on its head. Ward has a decade and a half’s worth experience in the industry, from owning a restaurant and catering to setting up and running large-scale kitchens.<\/p>\n

Studio H also co-created the ground-breaking 100+ Flavours report in 2023. From amasi and biltong to vetkoek and waterblommetjies, this alphabetical list of local flavours poses the question, \u201cIf we are what we eat, who are we as South Africans?\u201d<\/p>\n

Of the new project, Visser says, \u201cThe word \u2018catering\u2019 encompasses many styles and approaches and is very \u2018big\u2019. We are more creative, conceptual, and focused in our approach. Each client\u2019s brief will be executed in a unique way, and we won\u2019t have a menu that we play on repeat.\u201d Ward adds, \u201cThis exciting partnership gives us the opportunity and freedom to create memorable food, that is contemporary yet infused with South African heritage flavours.\u201d<\/p>\n

Catering with a Difference<\/h4>\n

The team\u2019s recent menus would stop even the most discerning food lover in their tracks. They\u2019ve included the likes of braaied snoek and apricot jam samosas as starters, followed by peri chicken jaffles with a tangy lemon achar. They\u2019ve rustled up tantalising \u2018guess the flavour soft serve ice cream\u2019 and a \u2018food waste snack selection\u2019 \u2013 cleverly made from food that would have been thrown away. The latter included fancy fish head \u2018fingers\u2019 with a sourdough rouille and salt and vinegar cured caviar.<\/p>\n

Describing the process behind their work, Visser says, \u201cStudio H uses three lenses when designing a menu \u2013 namely, South African heritage, sustainability, and food trends. We place an emphasis on design, and we consider the whole eating experience \u2013 from the minute a guest enters the space until they leave. Eating is more than a physical experience and we think about a lot more than what we put on the plate. We carefully consider how you eat, what you listen to when you eat, the colour palette, what you sit on, the crockery, cutlery, how you feel, etc.\u201d<\/p>\n

Flavours with a Sustainable Twist<\/h4>\n

Studio H and Ward promise a flavoursome experience that packs a culinary punch, but it doesn\u2019t end there. They are passionate about using what others see as ‘waste’, like damaged fruit and vegetables and offcuts, and they also support and mentor SMMEs and use women suppliers where they can.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At the heart of all this is their ethos, Visser adds, \u201cWe utilise food as a design medium and see it as something powerful that can be used to convey a message and make a strong statement. Food can affect change and we believe in using it with a purpose and for maximum impact. It should be smart and well thought out yet effortless to consume. But most of all, it should be fun, make people think and drive conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n
