Get to know me better

Passionate cook that tells stories through food

I’m Chef Sive, a South African private chef with a love for turning meals into experiences. My cooking blends fine dining precision with bold, soulful flavours inspired by my travels and the people I cook for.

I’ve had the privilege of designing and executing multi-course dinners for families, executives, world leaders, and private events across South Africa and Central Africa, Australia and Canada. Most recently, I served as a private chef for a high net worth family in Kinshasa — an experience that deepened my passion for creating food that brings people together across cultures.

Each menu I design is about balance, elegance, and storytelling. I want every plate to reflect both skill and emotion.

Whether it’s a six-guest dinner or a full twelve-seat fine dining service, I bring the same focus every time — refined flavour, beautiful presentation, and genuine hospitality.

For me, cooking is...

Therapeutic because it reminds me that even in chaos I can create comfort

I learned to cook at...

Under the guidance of some professional and renowned chefs. I have been experimenting, refining and developing my own style along the way.

A cooking secret...

I cook with intention and every dish tells a story.
