The story behind your meal

Maye and Monifa are both the Founders of Soul Box. They have a Level 2 Food Safety and Hygiene for Catering Certification, In addition to Maye having experience as a Chef In multiple restaurants. Monifa is Nigerian, Burmese and British and Maye being Jamaican and British. They are both sisters as part of a huge family, therefore Cooking for many people and infusing their own cultures into their dishes is something that has come as second nature to them. Both sisters enjoy being out in nature, meditating and doing anything that benefits their mind and health overall. This is why all of Soul Box’s packaging is 100% biodegradable and some even compostable, as taking care of the Earth and it’s environment is a priority for both Maye and Monifa. 

Soul Box is a Vegan Delivery service based in Leeds, UK. We started Soul Box in June 2020 as two sisters who loved to cook. We are both on a deep, spiritual journey as a result, we understand diet is a huge factor that plays a role in our physical, mental and spiritual health. We wanted to incorporate our journey through cooking healthy, delicious meals to show people the passion and love that goes into our food. We aim to share the knowledge and wisdom we have learnt whilst on this path, and to encourage this growth within others. We both eat Plant-based and want to make Vegan take-outs more available in our City, as we have found they are quite scarce. 

We cook from our home kitchen, which allows us to ensure great quality at every step before we deliver to you. Our aim is to open up a store in Leeds, UK and eventually have multiple stores around the world. Our menu is also going to expand including selling Vegan Desserts. At the moment we change our menu every week, as our style of cooking is something we have not seen in any take out. Both of us (Maye and Monifa) have learnt how to cook from a very young age and with being exposed to such a variety of cuisines, we felt our expertise could not be limited to a small set menu. We also want to experience and learn more as part of our journey and growth therefore, changing the menu every week, allows that to happen.
