My name is Lucretia Oosthuizen I live in the Northern Suburbs where i was born and raised. I am a professional Chef who studied culinary arts at Chef's Training and Innovation Academy (CTIA) in Durbanville and Graduated with a International Diploma through City and Guilds in 2011.

I worked at some of the top wine farms in the Western Cape, Hillcrest wine farm, Diemersdal, Tokara and Neethlingshof.

I opened up my own meal prep company in 2017 where i worked with trainers to help them with daily meal prep so they can focus on training. My Dad and I also took part in Ultimate Braai Master Season 3, and I also did a few other competitions and took part in Kook Punt last year it is an Afrikaans cooking competition.

I then decided to follow my passion for traveling and went to work on the Private Yachts for 3 years in Europe and the Caribbean both Sailing and Motor Yachts and even did a Atlantic crossing from the Caribbean back to Europe. Mainly worked as Sole Chef and catering to Charter Guest and Owners needs.

I am very passionate about what I do and cooking for people gives me a lot of satisfaction.

For me, cooking is...

Seeing people, friends, family and lived ones come together laughing, having a good time while sharing a beautiful full of flavor vibrant meal togethe
