About The Chef
My name is Storm Ashby I'm a chef with over a decade of culinary experience across various settings, including à la carte restaurants, 5-star hotel buffets, and fine dining establishments. Specializing in Mediterranean cuisine, I excel in crafting dishes that capture the region's simplicity and vibrant flavors. My culinary repertoire
is versatile, ranging from rustic home cooking to classic French fine dining and South African braaing.
Having received my city and guilds qualifications from Alfresco Food and Wine Academy, and my advanced patisserie qualifications, I bring a deep understanding of both hot kitchen and patisserie techniques to the table. I offer a dynamic skill set and unwavering commitment to excellence in every culinary creation.
Passionate about food from a young age and hailing from a foodie family, I have worked in various restaurants and resorts both abroad and in South Africa, including game lodges, hotels, fine-dining restaurants, and bistros. Now seeking new opportunities in the Western Cape, I am eager to bring my expertise and creativity into new culinary ventures. Whether it's crafting a memorable dining experience in a restaurant or creating culinary magic in the comfort of your own home, I am dedicated to delivering exceptional cuisine and unforgettable moments for you and your loved ones. Let's connect and embark on this culinary journey together!
