I create recipes that do more than just taste and look good — they inspire your customers to use your products in practical, real-world ways. Whether you’re a local producer, farm shop, or speciality food brand, we can show your customers how to cook, combine, and enjoy what you make — beautifully, thoughtfully, and deliciously.

From our home studio, we develop, cook, style, and professionally photograph every recipe, delivering cohesive, high-quality content without the hassle of coordinating multiple teams. Every recipe is a complete story — from concept to final image — ready for your audience to enjoy and recreate.

I work with small restaurants across Cape Town and the Overberg to create menus that feel seasonal, practical, and entirely doable in a real kitchen. Whether you’re just starting out or looking for fresh ideas, I step in alongside your team to test, taste, and refine dishes while providing mentorship for chefs and kitchen staff.

I also help audit systems, streamline workflows, and advise on kitchen setup and design, ensuring everything runs smoothly from prep to service. Together, we build menus and kitchens that flow effortlessly and give your team confidence in every service.

I provide private, small-scale catering across the Cape and Overberg, crafting menus that are designed around you, your space, and the season.

Each menu is thoughtfully tailored to suit the occasion, reflecting your tastes while making the planning effortless and enjoyable. With care and attention to detail, I aim to create a relaxed experience where the food feels personal, natural, and memorable.

Welcome to Love and Tahini, my recipe library where I share the techniques, ideas, and recipes I’ve collected over the years. Designed to make cooking at home easier and more enjoyable, this is a space to experiment, explore, and discover flavors at your own pace.

From simple everyday meals to creative twists, these recipes are all about making your kitchen feel a little more fun, a little more intuitive, and a lot more delicious.

Over the years, I’ve built up a collection of recipes that have stayed with me for different reasons.

Here you’ll find everything from quick, everyday meals to more advanced dishes that can teach you new skills and techniques.

These are recipes I’ve cooked for friends and family — each with its own story or memory attached.

Soon, they’ll be available as affordable eBooks with instant downloads, so you can cook along wherever you are.

We’re still working on them — so watch this space.

Our pop-up lunches and dinners are rooted in the Overberg, where farms, small producers, and the seasons guide everything we do.

These gatherings aren’t about a fixed calendar — they happen when the land offers something special. Each menu is built around what’s growing, what’s local, and what feels true to the place and time.

After years in fast-paced restaurant kitchens, this is about slowing down, cooking closer to nature, and creating moments that connect people to the abundance of this region. It’s food and wine shaped by the Overberg — honest, seasonal, and grounded in the charm of rural life.
