A passion for creating exceptional and unique dining experiences

Welcome to my culinary world! I'm Ammaarah Petersen, a trailblazing chef with a passion for creating unforgettable dining experiences. At the age of 16, I embarked on my culinary journey at Capsicum Culinary Studio, and since then, I have helmed kitchens in top five-star hotels and renowned restaurants across the globe.

As one of the top 5 Halal chefs in the country, my expertise lies in crafting exquisite Halal cuisine that blends traditional flavors with innovative techniques. My brand, Hotchefs, is a testament to my dedication to culinary excellence, where each dish is a masterpiece, infused with my unique touch.

I have had the honor of featuring on several national TV shows such as Expresso Breakfast Show, Afternoon Express, Heerlik Halaal, and Pasella, which have all helped shine a spotlight on my culinary creations. My commitment to the industry has been recognized with accolades including the Women of Wonder Award and the RoshGold Young Business Achievers Award.

Beyond the kitchen, I am passionate about giving back to the community. My NPO, Trio, has provided over 90,000 meals since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. Additionally, my retail outlet, Cape Malay House, offers a diverse range of catering services that bring the rich flavors of Cape Malay cuisine to your table.

Join me on Take a Chef, and let's embark on a gastronomic adventure that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you craving for more. Whether it's a bespoke dining experience or a special event, I promise to deliver culinary artistry that will make your occasion truly memorable.
