Chef At Home in Midrand
Get to know me better
I am a passionate, globally experienced chef with over 14 years in luxury yachting, creating high-end cuisine for discerning clients around the world.
With over 14 years of experience cooking aboard luxury yachts around the world, I specialize in high-end, health-conscious cuisine tailored to the refined tastes of elite clients. My culinary journey has taken me across continents, allowing me to master global flavors and fuse them into fresh, modern dishes that are as nourishing as they are memorable. Trained at the prestigious Mohr Culinary Institute in the USA, I combine classical technique with contemporary flair—whether it’s a Mediterranean-inspired seafood course, Asian-fusion tasting menu, or plant-forward wellness plates. My mission is simple: to create food that excites, heals, and elevates the dining experience to an art form.
