Meet The Chef
Born and raised in the beautiful South Africa, I was fortunate enough to grow up in a family where food was the center for conversations and laughter.
I remember visiting my grandparents' farm where everything was made from scratch. The aromas in my grandmother's kitchen, where she cooked everything on a wood burning stove, still holds the fondest memories for me.
It's there that my food journey started, making butter in a mason jar, prepping vegetables from her garden and baking fresh, authentic bread.
I remain inspired by my experiences in the kitchen all those years ago and I am very excited about the shift back to those basics, using grass-fed beef and butter, organic vegetables and simple clean food. As a personal chef it is a joy to share my passion for healthy and nourishing food with my clients.
“The kitchen is a mystical place, a kind of temple for me. It is a place where the surfaces seem to have significance, where the sounds and odors carry meaning that transfers from the past and bridges to the future.”
-Pearl Bailey (singer/actress)

Cooking Lessons
Whether you need to start with basic cooking techniques or just improve your own skills, this is a great hands-on experience. Not only will we prepare a couple of recipes, but I also share some of the “secrets” I discovered thru my many years of cooking. Cooking lessons will be held in your own kitchen and can be one-on-one or a group of friends.
