about us
Good food in every sense of the word
Welcome to Set The Table – where the food is fancy(ish), the vibes are warm,
and everything tastes better shared.
We’re Carissa and Tayla — two sister-in-laws who somehow turned our wildly different kitchen styles into one delicious little business. One of us trained in pastry… the other once started a small kitchen fire. We’ll let you guess who’s who.
Carissa
Carissa’s the real-deal chef. She slays the kitchen at a busy café, has a pastry qualification under her apron, and casually whips up restaurant-quality meals on a Tuesday — just because. She’s all about bold flavours, beautiful plating, and food that makes you say, “Wait, you made this?”
Tayla
Tayla’s a mum of two, a garden queen, and a firm believer that real food doesn’t come from a packet. With literally ZERO formal culinary training, but 100% good intentions, she makes homey, wholesome meals that are packed with veg and love that taste like a warm hug. She’s team slow-cooked, not pre-packaged.
Together, we’re the sweet spot between cheffy and chill — creating food that looks good, tastes better, and doesn’t require a culinary decoder to enjoy. Whether you’re here for event inspo, a next-level grazing table, or just trying to feed your kids on a Wednesday,
we’re so glad you pulled up a chair.
Now let’s Set The Table. 💫
