CHEFS CORNER

MEET OUR CULINARY LEADERS BEHIND M&G FOODSTUFF

Behind every beautifully plated dish and thoughtfully curated menu at M&G Foodstuff is a team of passionate chefs who bring creativity, expertise, and an unwavering commitment to quality. Our kitchen isn’t just about cooking—it’s about crafting experiences, using the best seasonal ingredients, and constantly pushing the boundaries of what catering can be.

In this edition of Chef’s Corner, we’re pulling back the curtain to introduce you to the talented culinary leaders behind our food. From sourcing the freshest produce to designing dishes that are as visually stunning as they are delicious, our chefs are at the heart of everything we do.

A DAY IN THE LIFE

A day in the life of our chefs starts early—sometimes as early as 4 AM. The kitchen buzzes to life with the prepping and plating of fresh, seasonal ingredients for our many breakfast and lunch orders. As the day unfolds, the team moves with precision, the kitchen running like a well-oiled machine, executing a packed schedule of orders and events. Whether crafting elegant canapés for a high-profile launch or assembling an abundant family-style spread for drop-off catering, every dish reflects their dedication to quality and the unmistakable M&G Foodstuff touch.

CHEF RAGEED

Title: Executive Sous Chef

Background & Experience: Originally from Jamaica, Chef Raj brought his culinary talents to M&G Foodstuff in 2015, making him our longest-standing team member. With years of experience in high-end catering, he has honed his skills in both technique and presentation, becoming a true master of his craft.

Philosophy and Inspiration: Raj believes that great food is a balance of flavor, texture, and visual appeal. His passion for plating is unmatched, and he takes pride in creating dishes that are as beautiful as they are delicious. Inspired by his Caribbean roots and seasonal ingredients, he brings a fresh, artistic touch to every dish.

Favorite M&G Dish to Cook: Raj’s focaccia is legendary—perfectly golden, airy, and infused with just the right balance of olive oil and sea salt. He also loves assembling vibrant, thoughtfully plated spreads that highlight the best of each season’s produce.

Fun Facts: When he’s not in the kitchen, Raj loves traveling to visit friends and exploring new destinations. He’s also a big fan of country music and uses any chance he can get to put on his cowboy boots.
