Through out my life as a chef I have always wanted to achieve greatness within my chosen field. Over the years I realized that I am a culmination of lots of chefs and my personality and inquisitiveness have allowed me to achieve many great things in South Africa and abroad. So to ask me what my philosophy is or what type of food I cook the best answer I can produce is “I am a work in transit” This doesn’t mean I am not skilled, I really enjoy all types of foods-cultures and styles and will always try to perfect a style that is unique and new. I always research and try learn something new, and rather than be jealous of another chef’s success I celebrate it and will always continue to compete, evolve and champion the Property or Hotel I work for. I try to be humble but will never suffer fools I value criticism and will always use it as motivation to become better at what I do. I am not afraid of failure because failure has taught me so much already
