About The Chef

For as long as I can remember, I've always loved eating food. My childhood on my grandparents' farm in Polokwane moulded a lot of my journey now, understanding what farm to table really means and where our food comes from.

From being a personal butler, outdoor catering to heads of state in one of the top hotels in Qatar and Seychelles, to catering for our SA ambassador and his guests during my time abroad; to working in one of Johannesburg's elite luxury hotels, Four Seasons The Westcliff.

Ranging from fine dining, banqueting style, and delicatessen to artisanal local specialities. 
One of my greatest culinary experiences was working alongside Italian Michelin Star chef Massimiliano Musso in his first Pop up restaurant in SA held at the Four Seasons.
