THE FUSE

Where Wellness Meets the Plate: The Real Lessons Behind Ru Furusa’s Utano Kitchen. Ru Furusa has built something rare in South Africa’s culinary landscape. Utano Kitchen is not just a private chef service. It is a philosophy of nourishment, a celebration of community and a reminder that food, at its core, is an act of care. Based in Cape Town and grounded in the meaning of its Shona name, which translates to health or wellness, Utano Kitchen has grown into a respected brand by offering personalised dining experiences, cooking workshops, event catering and wellness centred menu consulting.
