About The Chef
I have always been in love with and passionate about food. I was always in and around the kitchen and have been cooking since a very young age.
I grew up in Namibia and moved to South Africa in Highschool. After school, I attended Prue Leith Culinary Institute where I completed my Occupational Certificate Chef course, as well as my trade test. During my practicals, I worked at La Colombe and Aurum restaurants.
I started my own catering and baking business when I was around 17 and have been doing that full-time for the past few months following my graduation, while busy with a part-time course in business management at the Swiss Hotel School.
I look forward to serving you and your guests in an authentic experience.
