Introduction
I have been in the culinary industry for well over 25 years. Trained in South Africa and the USA. I have worked with many international and high profile clients and have had the pleasure of learning and preparing many different cuisines. I worked in 5-star game lodges in South Africa preparing sunrise breakfasts and sunset dinners. I am comfortable preparing simple weeknight dinners to high-end dinners and events. Catering to a client never feels like a job to me, rather a dream come true having the opportunity to do what I love! I take tremendous pride in what I do and prepare each and every meal to perfection. We eat with our eyes first, so food must not only taste good but also look good therefore attention to detail and presentation is key.

Thank you chef Cheryl! She made our night extremely special. The meal and service were wonderful. Chef Cheryl and assistant Emeli exceeded our expectations. I would recommend chef Cheryl for your next event.

Cheryl and team are deserving of 5 star accolades in every category including value and punctuality and adaptability. From point of contact to settlement of service, everything ran smoothly. And if you are a guy planning an event, trust Cheryl to guide you through the process and for her to be mindful of the minor and fiber details that only a woman coul and would notice. That said, let's talk about 3 elements of the food: visual appeal = 5/5; quality of ingredients = 5/5; taste = 5/5. The only slight that I can give is that I wish that I had known of her 3 years ago! She will definitely be our "go to" for future events. I look forward to seeing the pics that she will post.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 11 - 20 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • Dessert • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • French • I'm flexible • Only once • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

We had Cheryl over to cook a private dinner for our parents 40th wedding anniversary. Everything was beyond wonderful from the quality of the food to the presentation. It will definitely be an extremely memorable anniversary for my parents thanks to Cheryl. I would very much recommend Cheryl to anyone looking for a private dinner or catering event.

Chef Cheryl and her team made my bachelorette dinner so amazing and memorable! She was so quick to respond to my messages and always took the time to talk through her services and the vast menu options she provided. She arrived and setup the dining room area to look so beautiful for the event. Then when dinner was ready she served such delicious appetizers and entrees, explaining the quality and ingredients she used to make each meal so amazing. And the dessert and after dinner charcuterie boards were to die for! Delicious is an understatement, we were in heaven with how great all the food looked and tasted. I highly recommend chef Cheryl for any private event, she truly makes the event so special!
