Chef Derron Tiisetso

My culinary adventure began in 2017, but the flames of my passion were ignited back in 2016, when I was merely in Grade 7. Initially aspiring to become a veterinarian, my path took an unexpected turn towards the culinary arts, a decision I've never looked back on.

To sharpen my skills and broaden my horizons, I pursued a Degree in Hospitality and Tourism at the University of Zulu in 2022. This academic pursuit not only provided me with theoretical knowledge but also made me adaptable and employable across various culinary settings.

In late 2022, fortune smiled upon me when I was offered a position at Southern Sun Rosebank Hotel by Afriboom CSG. This opportunity allowed me to immerse myself in the dynamic world of hospitality and refine my culinary expertise alongside seasoned professionals.

Throughout my journey, I've had the privilege of collaborating with diverse chefs from across South Africa, each contributing to my growth and shaping my culinary identity. From mastering the art of food management to honing my creativity in the kitchen, every experience has been invaluable in sculpting me into the chef I am today.

Join me as I continue to push culinary boundaries, blend flavors, and create unforgettable dining experiences. Welcome to a world where passion meets precision, and every dish tells a story.
