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.

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.

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.
