About The Chef
I am a young qualified Chef, My Culinary skills started at a very young age. My mom was a very busy woman, she had no time to cook for the family. I was then appointed as the cook for the house. She taught me how to make South African food. I then fell in love with food and exploring new recipes. I remember how I got so excited to see my family enjoying my food. That’s when I fell in love with food and making people happy with my skills.
I studied Consumer Studies in High School. I gained a lot of basic skills. I then studied Professional Cookery at HTA School of Arts.
I got my first Job at a Restaurant called Tang in Sandton. I got exposed to Asian Cuisine, fine dining, and working in a fast-paced environment. I got the privilege of working with great chefs and being trained by Executive Chef Vixa. I then got the opportunity to work as a private chef for a mining company called Quinton Holdings.
I enjoy growing in this culinary world, I also enjoy cooking and making my clients happy.
I can’t wait to put a smile on you and your loved ones' faces. Looking forward to being of service to you.
