More about me

For me, cooking is...

A way to express my artistic style and love of flavors and fresh, seasonal ingredients, and to share my love with like-minded people, family & friends

I learned to cook at...

I was taught from an early age at home, I then studied in Durban at M.L. Sultan Hotel School. I furthered my studies in the South African Army.

A cooking secret...

I believe flavor is the key, and using the best & freshest ingredients possible, enhanced with spices & herbs. Most important: love what you're doing!
