Chef Anton.r Beneke

Private Chef In Sandton

I started aggressively moving around in the food industry expanding my experience and understanding of flavours from around the world.

Over the last 18 years I have been moving between Restaurants, Hotels, Game Lodges and Luxury Yachts in several countries, which has given me a renewed, unique style and perspective on food and flavor.

I only use locally sourced Organic fruit and vegetables and Free-range meat and animal products to create unique dishes full of complex flavours while developing a different approach to fusion cuisine.

For me, cooking is...

The ultimate artistic expression of the soul.

I learned to cook at...

I have had the Privilege to work with great Chefs from all over the world and made my experiences with them into my own creations.

A cooking secret...

Experimentation and research is the key to creating food that is unique, exciting and health orientated.
