Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is your catering certified Kosher?
No, our kitchen and services are not certified by a kosher authority (hechsher). We operate as a “kosher-friendly” or “kosher-style” caterer. We are transparent about this to ensure we are the right fit for our clients. We are happy to discuss our food preparation processes in detail with you.
What’s the difference between ‘kosher-certified’ and ‘kosher-friendly’?
Kosher-certified means a kitchen operates under the strict supervision of a rabbinic agency, adhering to all laws of kashrut. Kosher-friendly, our approach, means we respect the main principles (like no pork/shellfish, not mixing meat/dairy in a dish) but do not operate in a supervised, exclusively kosher environment.
Can you cater for a Bar Mitzvah in the Melbourne area?
Absolutely. We have catered for many Bar and Bat Mitzvahs across Melbourne and its suburbs. We can create fun, sophisticated, and delicious menus that are a hit with both children and adults while respecting your family’s traditions.
