Private Chef Ross Wilson

Passionate and flexible, with 15 years of private dining experience. I pride myself on using only the best seasonal ingredients to create memorable menus. From fun and friendly family style menus to 7 course tasting menus, I can do it all. Themed evenings are always a delight and give me a chance to play!

For me, cooking is...

For me cooking is a means to an end, the end being a good meal.

I learned to cook at...

After Graduating from Prue Lieth Acadamy in 2005, I have had the privilege of working for and alongside some of South Africa's greats!

A cooking secret...

The best kept secret is seasoning!
