🍲 Intentional Cooking & Local Ingredients: The Soul of South African Wellness in 2026
Intentional cooking is more than preparing food—it’s about mindfully choosing ingredients, slowing down the process, and cooking with purpose. In 2026, South Africans are embracing this philosophy as a way to reconnect with heritage, reduce waste, and nourish both body and spirit.
Instead of rushing through meals, intentional cooking encourages us to ask:
Where did this food come from?
How does it support my health and community?
Am I cooking with care, or just convenience?
