This is me
My journey started many years ago at a small family owned restaurant in Cape Town.
Realising that the best experience to be gained would be in London, I embarked on a journey that would see me training in some of London’s top restaurants.
Returning to South Africa and spending years working in restaurants, the idea of cooking for clients on a personal level, was more appealing and here I am, your own private chef.
My Services
PRIVATE CHEF
As a Private Chef, I am able to cater to your gastronimic requirements and desires – preparing the food you love and enjoy.
Tailored breakfasts, lunches and dinners to suit your needs, be it cooking for you once or preparing all your meals while you’re on holiday or even long term assignments.
DINNER PARTIES
The shopping, the cooking and the cleaning is all taking care of – all you need to do is eat and enjoy!
You entertain while I prepare a feast in your kitchen – from a chic and stylish sit-down dinner party to a gourmet barbecue or braai. I will design your menu with you, to your specific requirements and needs.
CATERING
Any celebration – weddings, anniversaries, birthday bashes – we got you covered. We’ll discuss your menu options and any other additional hiring of equipment, bar or staffing requirements.
RESTAURANT CONSULTING
With more than 20 years of restaurant experience, locally and abroad, I’ll assist in setting up your restaurant and guide you through those business breaking pitfalls, including menu planning, food costing and supplier management and staff training.
