Food is the root of how we think, feel, and move through the world.
I've been cooking professionally since 2016, most of those years at sea. After working through some health issues of my own, food became the thing that supported me, and I found a new love for it, as well as a way to express my creativity.
It taught me something plainly: food is the first form of care. It has the power to shift a mood, a habit, a way of living.
I cook with seasonal and fresh ingredients, everything made from scratch, with a real passion for nourishing, wholesome food. Having studied Ayurvedic foundations, I weave that way of cooking into my menus.
I'm a nature lover with endless curiosity about the natural world. I now work privately in Cape Town and abroad, on yachts, at private events and in retreat kitchens.
Yachts & Charters
Over ten years in yacht galleys, with provisioning, menu planning and full service for owners and charter guests. Breakfast, lunch and plated dinner service, with all dietary requirements accommodated.
Private Dining & Events
Dinners at home, long tables, birthdays, supper clubs and small weddings. Sharing plates or a plated menu, designed around seasonal produce and served in your kitchen.
Retreat Kitchens
Full retreat kitchens in Cape Town and surrounding areas. Three meals a day, paced around the schedule, with an emphasis on seasonal produce and slow-cooked nourishment.
Let me cook for you.
Tell me a little about what you need. I'll write back within a day or two.
