MY JOURNEY
A Culinary Journey Grounded in Experience
Angie trained at Silwood School of Cookery and has worked in some of South Africa’s most respected kitchens such as Chef’s Warehouse, La Colombe and Fyn — as well as in a Michelin-starred restaurant in France. These years in professional kitchens gave her a deep respect for technique, precision, and remarkable ingredients.
Her shift into private cheffing came from a desire to connect more personally with food — and with people. For Angie, a meal is never just about the food, it’s about how it makes people feel.

ANGIE’S CULINARY PHILOSOPHY
A Philosophy of Simple, Memorable Food
Chef Angie believes that good food should be generous, nourishing, and quietly unforgettable. Her style is refined yet relaxed — led by seasonal produce, layered flavours, and a clear sense of purpose.
Whether it’s a single bite or a slow, shared meal, the goal is always the same: to bring people together through the joy of food.

The Process
