About The Chef
Chef Christo obtained his Diploma in Food Preparation and Culinary Arts at Capsicum Culinary Studio in Pretoria, one of the greatest culinary schools the country has to offer. During his studies, he had the opportunity to showcase his skills on national television with South African celebrity chef, Reuben Riffel.
Mentored by chef Genghis San, he found a love for Asian cuisine in the prestigious Protea Hotel: Fire & Ice. He secured an internship at one of the capital's top 10 restaurants, Fermier, where he perfected French fusion cuisine and practiced farm to fork concept innovation.
In the private chef industry, he has been using his knowledge, passion and creativity to produce delectable menus that portray the essence of South African culture and cuisine with flair! An entertainer at heart and a wizard in the kitchen, chef Christo will certainly leave you and your guests satisfied... and yet wanting more.
