ABOUT SYAM
Meet Monica
Monica’s love for cooking was nurtured in a home filled with the warmth of homemade meals and the vibrant spirit of South African community gatherings. Food was always a family affair. Whether it was family dinners around the table, weekend braais, or cooking a hearty potjie over an open fire, with music playing, laughter filling the air, and everyone coming together to prepare and enjoy a meal, she discovered her passion for cooking at a young age.
Despite building a successful career in the corporate world, Monica found herself yearning for something more—something that aligned with her love for food, health, and family. As a single parent, the idea of having the flexibility to work from home, build her own business, and spend more quality time with her loved ones became a driving force behind her career shift into the Health & Nutrition industry.
Her journey with Saladmaster 316 Titanium Cookware began in 2012 when she was first introduced to the brand. While intrigued, it wasn’t until 2019 that she took the leap and joined the business. Just as she was getting started, the world was hit by the COVID-19 lockdown. During this time, she immersed herself in studying health and nutrition, experimenting with flavours from around the world, and learning about food sustainability. She became increasingly aware of the dangers of heavy metals in cookware and how using Saladmaster cookware helped preserve nutrients and maintain food integrity.
This newfound awareness sparked an even greater passion for healthy eating, leading to the creation of SYAM FOODS LTD. Recognising the need for natural, nutrient-rich, and convenient food options, Monica ventured into the dehydrated fruit business, combining her love for food, sustainability, and health. By offering high-quality dehydrated citrus fruits, she continues her mission of helping others make healthier food choices while reducing waste and embracing sustainability.
Through life’s challenges—divorce, single parenting, career transitions—Monica’s passion for cooking, family, and healthy living has remained unwavering. Today, she continues to inspire others with her love for wholesome, flavourful meals and her commitment to a sustainable, nutritious lifestyle.
