Service Description

About the chef
From age 9, I’ve spent much time in the kitchen, inspired by my mother’s exceptional cooking. At 16, I chose the Cape Sun Intercontinental 5-star hotel to shadow chefs and gain kitchen experience, solidifying my passion for culinary arts.
After matric, I pursued a national diploma in catering and hospitality studies, starting in hotels and advancing through the kitchen ranks. In 2011, I was selected as an inflight chef for Etihad Airways, serving VIP guests like Sir Paul McCartney, Coldplay and the royal family in Abu Dhabi.
Keanon’s Kitchen, my dream, opened in 2017 in Strandfontein, where I grew up. It’s more than just a catering/private chef business; it’s a community initiative aimed at uplifting local businesses and artists.
Keanon’s Kitchen brings the restaurant experience to your home, making fine dining accessible to all. In the past 15 years, I’ve traveled the world, learning from renowned chefs like Heindrich Koen, Marcus Ree Taylor, Grant Cullingworth, Linsay Ven,n and Sanel Esterhuisan. I incorporate my knowledge and travels to create unique culinary experiences, showcasing fresh local produce and flavors.
Beyond my culinary pursuits, I’m a passionate and competitive surfer, having been riding the waves since I was 16 at my local beach, just 9 miles from Strandfontein.
When I’m not surfing, I love downhill skateboarding with my crew TARBOUND. Though I may not be as fast, my passion and excitement are the same.
