Cape Town

I have formal culinary training and attended International hotel school. I have recently started the journey of being a private chef and I’ve learnt so much from my experience and school. I am a qualified pastry chef. I make the most gorgeous desserts that are delicious. My most popular dish that my clients love is my mac and cheese. I also love making different variations of charcuterie boards. It immediately sets the setting and is great for snacking. I love being given the poppy to cook for people. That makes me so happy and good food brings people together
