About Journey Food Co
Journey Food Co is run by Channa and Ruby Senaratne, two chefs who live in Coolum Beach. Channa grew up helping in his mother's catering kitchen and trained as a tandoori chef; Ruby is a qualified chef who cooks from scratch with local ingredients. Years of cooking abroad, including on charter boats, shape menus that draw on Asian, Mediterranean and Mexican food. For parties of 25 or more there is a roaming cocktail format: eight finger foods, or five finger foods with two small mains, served in palm-leaf bowls over four to five hours, and your celebration cake is cut and arranged on a platter for guests. Smaller groups of 10 to 24 can book the private chef experience, where the team dresses the table with linen, handmade ceramics, candles and flowers, then serves three courses of share plates with a chef and wait staff on hand and leaves the kitchen clean. A bartender for matched cocktails can be added. Corporate clients can choose stand-up cocktail menus, festival-style meals served from one station, family-style feast menus, private chef dinners or drop-off catering for working lunches and dinners. Dishes run from satay skewers and spring rolls to chermoula prawns, slow-cooked lamb, tacos al pastor and quesadillas. Vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free choices sit across the menus, and tastings can be arranged at their kitchen for a small fee. Send an enquiry to plan a menu for your date.
