It took me a while to settle in my passion as before I was a beauty therapist onboard carnival cruise liners(I no big jump) I travelled the world but food always attracted me. Onboard carnival cruise liners I always loved eating at the steak house id spend hours just watching the kitchen longing to be apart of the magic. Upon my return home I told my mom I want to follow my passion in Becoming thee chef. And she supported me.
I enrolled at Capsicum culinary studio graduating in early 2017 with a international diploma in culinary arts and a diploma in patisserie. During my two years I met wonderful chefs and paired up with good people gaining unique skills that I forever treassure.
I then hit the world by storm by free lancing with a well known celebrate chef Claire Allen, we did dinners for families, demos for big companies such as Hisense ambassadors, we done video shooting for b-well oils. Pure bliss of a journey. I kept searching for my zing but kept pushing and always hungry to learn more.

I learnt alot on my journey. And it equiped me better on food science part of food.
I then signed up to become a lecturer in 2019, too teach others how to cook. Its been a blessing of a journey. My skills ive gained along the way has moulded me into who I am today, I show love through my dishes and seeing others enjoy my food sets the sky beyond its limits.

Rory Pelton
My journey into the world of hospitality started many years ago as a barman at a small family owned restaurant in Cape Town. The aromas from the kitchen and the excitement of the resident chef ignited my love for food and the cheffing bug took hold.
Realising that the best experience to be gained would be in London, I packed my apron and knife set, embarking on a journey that would see me training and learning some of London’s top restaurants and hotels.
Upon my return to South Africa and spending years working in restaurants, the idea of cooking for clients on a personal level, making the food they love was more appealing and here I am, your next private chef.
I am in Noordhoek in the South Peninsula, but I cover the whole of the Western Cape and beyond if need be.
Regards
Rory Pelton
