My culinary style is based on French Cuisine as I trained through a Cordon Bleu School of cookery. Through my years of travelling and cooking in various countries I have adapted a large repertoire of styles and flavours, but keeping to the basic of fresh and seasonal. I have a passion for food and the hospitality industry and this reflects in my work.  
You choose your destination and I will travel to you to ensure an enjoyable, memorable getaway with family and friends. Making your Villa or Private Home filled with all the qualities and services of a boutique hotel. This was what I had in mind when starting Capetownchef.com In 2008 and to date we host a handful of talented Chefs that are available world wide. Capetownchef.com specializes in Private/Personal Chefs and Holiday Villa services in Cape Town and the surrounding areas during the summer months from October to April each year.

I've always tried to be a healthy eater myself, I think without a doubt that the saying "you are what you eat" is not only true but a scary fact for most. Food is our main source of energy and depending on what we consume will in return be the energies you give out. I like to create healthy meals that are well balanced but still delicious. As a chef it is a skill in its own to know where to find excellent produce and create good relationships with suppliers.

I enjoy every stage of my day to day work, from the sourcing of ingredients to presentation at the table. Cooking is my Passion and the Heart and Soul of my work, I derive immense satisfaction from meeting families from across the globe and sharing in the diversity of different cultures. 

I am forever a student to food and the million possibilities each raw ingredient holds.

I cook because it relaxes me, it brings  out my artistic-skills, it challenges me, it enables me to travel, it’s at the heart of all meeting places, it’s never repetitive and always exciting, it surrounds me with summer. I cook Because food is my culture.
" I had the great pleasure of savouring Jeremy's cooking throughout our five-day stay in Cape Town, and he never failed to please.
Delicate, imaginative, and delicious menus appeared regularly, always with the freshest ingredients, and beautifully presented; he is never over-fussy and the food tastes wonderful. Best of all, Jeremy is a delightful and easy-going young man."
