Chef Armin Smit
Private Chef In Mossel BayGet to know me better
I am a young enthusiastic professional chef trained under Commanderie Le Cordon Bleu and wish to give my expertise to guest exceptional experience.
Started out from hospitality background always interested in cooking from a young age so went to Silwood in association with Commanderie Le Cordon Bleu, my time there was nothing short of excellence. Felt completely natural, we had extensive education on food starting with the basics to getting judged by some of the best chefs on our exams. The curriculum included Practical and Theory of cooking, baking and patisserie, food costing and sourcing.
After I finished from culinary school, I started at Fyn. This restaurant won no 5 Eat Out Awards also working in collaboration with 2 Michelin starred chef Shinichiro Takagi working different sections also on the pass. I also staged at more fine dining restaurants, business or fitness events, private catering etc. I did my STCW Safety courses in order to work on any yacht and made my way to the South of France where it progressed further. Working for private and commercial vessels serving crew/guests with access to top quality ingredients in one of the best locations in the world. Having travelled to most of Europe and Asia understanding different cusines. For the past year where I wish to give the best dining experience possible at the comfort of your home to friends and family.
