I am a South African chef born to British parents. I grew up in the restaurant industry from the age of 15 years old working at various restaurants, starting as a runner and working my way up to management, this is where my love for food and journey began. I’ve spent the past 4 years traveling the world working as a solo chef on various charter and private yachts in the Mediterranean, Croatia, Italy, Bahamas, Caribbean, Bermuda, Florida as well as on a top ski resort. I am back in Cape Town working as a private chef and creating the most never ending memorable experiences for all my guests. I have done many high profile gigs as a sole chef and my passion is not just to cook but be to apart of every experience and to make friends forever????‍????

For me, cooking is...

My absolute biggest pleasure and what makes my heart sing.. I live to cook and to be apart of my guests personal experience

I learned to cook at...

The Super yacht Culinary Academy where I trained and did a 4 month internship and worked running the restaurant/ front of house

A cooking secret...

Is to pour all my love, creativity and passion into every dish which is definitely tasted by every guest. I’m always happy and laughing

Jean is incredibly fun, interesting, and talented! She understands the balance between giving privacy and being engaging. She has a wealth of life-experience...conversation is never boring! She provides an experience both in her food and her presence. And her food - wow! My taste buds haven't had a treat like Jean's food in a while. She was also willing to be flexible - with a vegan and 2 meat-eaters, she really delivered for everyone. Cannot recommend more!

O my World. What an amazing experience. Chef Jean made the entire experience so memorable and exciting. She is an amazing person with a great personality and I will 100% recommend her to everyone. Her dishes were out of this world and presentation was 5 star. Takeachef made it so easy to book and communicate with the chef and the entire process was very easy and fast. It was my mother’s 78 birthday and Chef Jean created one memorable experience for her that she will remember forever. Thank you Chef Jean and Takeachef you all are amazing ????????????
