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.
