About

Welcome to True Nature Food Co. Serving delicious vegan dahls to the people of Cape Town.

About the chef

After making my favourite food, dahl, for more than 15 years for friends and family, I finally decided to make these delicious meals available commercially. As a street photographer, on my travels to India, I followed the lens of my camera (and the aromas of all the Indian food too!) Time and Attention to detail are the most important factors in cooking dahl, and in getting the right photograph for that matter. I am sure you will enjoy the flavours as much as I do.

About the food

When I first started cooking dahl, it was vegetarian, but since going vegan in 2017, I adapted everything to be 100% plant-based and prepared in a fully vegan kitchen. We do not use honey in any of our meals. All our food is FREE from added sugar, dairy, lactose, gluten, preservatives, artificial flavourants and colouring. Nothing but PURE GOODNESS.

At the bidding of an experienced vegan dietician, Dawn McPhearson, I stopped cooking with oil as well. Dawn is of the firm belief that oil is one of the reasons why some people land up getting type 2 diabetes and she has been helping diabetics to reverse their diabetes by going plant based. So now all True Nature’s foods are cooked without any oil!

Our dahls are made with various legumes, which as you know, are high in natural protein!

About Ordering

Our Dahl Vegani is essentially a vegan version of Dahl Makhani. After all, did you know that Makhani means butter? 🙂 We added another two types of dahl to our offering, viz. Chana Dahl and Chana Masala. Lastly, we created our own unique and delicious Veggie soup, which we call Tangy Green Soup. It’s packed with greens and has a mild spicy bite.

Delivery times are between 12:00pm and 5:00pm. Dahls and Soups are delivered frozen, within 1 hour of ordering, as we have a constant supply of these.

I look forward to being of service to you, whether you are vegan, vegetarian, or just want to try our delicious plant based meals. You just might get hooked.
