We believe that in order to create the best products, you have to surround yourself with the best people.

The team behind leafe started out by creating the Eate Collective, a collective of chefs, suppliers, producers, and restaurants whose purpose is to develop a community of people wanting to explore gastronomy, develop their food, and most importantly, showcase it.

With these deep roots in the culinary industry and a core philosophy of ‘For Chefs, By Chefs’, we’ve created something that will help save us all from the horrors of excessive paperwork and allow us to focus on what’s most important- the food.

Leafe is constantly updating and improving based on feedback from our incredible community, and the collective is an amazing platform for us to hear the feedback of seasoned professionals in food & hospitality. We are always on the lookout to help make members of the culinary industry’s lives easier and we believe the best way to achieve that is through collaboration with the people that live and breathe this industry day in, day out.

  • Why is the Culinary Industry so Male-Dominated?

    It seems to make such little sense that the gastronomical industry is so male-dominated when there is ample global culinary talent from both men and women alike. So, if the archaic rhetoric that ‘women belong in the kitchen’ still exists, why is the culinary industry so male-dominated?

  • Reconsidering Anthony Bourdain’s Kitchen Confidential, 20 Years On

    Kitchen Confidential, the explosive, tell-all book which launched Anthony Bourdain to international stardom has long been touted as perhaps the most honest insight into the culinary industry. However, in the twenty years since its publication and even in the two since Bourdain’s untimely death, the world has changed markedly.
