ABOUT US

Cinnamon & Cinder was born from our founder Anri's deep-rooted love of cooking that was sparked in her childhood. Growing up on a farm in Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa, hospitality was a way of life. 

After moving to Australia in 2007, she longed for the flavours of home - rusks, koeksisters, roosterkoek and skaapstertjies sizzling on the braai. 

Inspired by nostalgia and a passion for her heritage, Anri began sharing her cooking with family and friends - leading to the creation of Cinnamon & Cinder.  

Each bite is a taste of home, made with love and tradition.

FOUR GENERATIONS IN THE KITCHEN

At the heart of our journey lies a cherished memory: four generations gathered in the kitchen. Our story is rooted in family - cooking side by side, sharing recipes, stories and love. From Anri's Ouma to her daughter, treasured traditions have been passed down with care. 

For us, cooking is more than just food - it's a way of preserving our heritage and celebrating family. Every dish holds a memory, and every shared meal strengthens our bond. 

Join us as we honour this legacy, one recipe at a time.
