Woolworths TASTE

MAKE A MEAL OF IT

“I have always had a passion to inspire and motivate people around me to cook, bake, taste and experiment with food. When I studied to be a teacher I was following my natural calling (although I only realised this in retrospect!). For many years I gave cooking classes from home and later I had a beautiful studio from where I operated in Langebaan.

When we moved to Gauteng, it did not take long before my newly renovated kitchen became a cooking studio, where I once again taught, cooked, baked and – hopefully – inspired others. Now back in Cape Town I have two beautiful kitchens, a small function venue and a guesthouse where I can once again do what I have always loved to do.

Entertaining is a big part of our lives – whether it is formal, casual, or just a short visit – and I always try to make it special. Nothing makes me happier than sharing food with friends, neighbours, family and even strangers who happen to come into our home.
