Get to know me better

Private chef with 11+ years global experience. Specialising in sushi, fire cooking & tailored menus for villas, yachts & luxury private dining.

I’m a Cape Town–based chef with 11+ years behind the pass — from open fires and sushi counters to yachts and private villas. I don’t overcomplicate food; I focus on bold flavours, clean plates, and making people feel looked after.

I’ve worked solo and in teams across Europe, the US, and SA. I’m comfortable running the show or slotting in tight. Private chef work is where I get to really connect with people and bring that calm, lived-in energy to the kitchen. I keep it sharp, professional, and low-drama — just good food done properly.

Available for part-time, full-time, or short-term private placements in Cape Town or abroad.

More about me

For me, cooking is...

For me, cooking is a quiet dance between produce and chef — the plate just a canvas where instinct, respect, and flavour come together.

I learned to cook at...

With my father every weekend then took it up at the age of 16 and never looked back

A cooking secret...

My secret? I build a station that flows like poetry — every tool, every move in rhythm. No chaos, just calm, like the kitchen knows where I’m going.
