Get to know me better
Filipino chef with Classical European training and expertise in French, Modern, and Asian Cuisine.
I'm an internationally-qualified chef with wide-ranging expertise in most major cuisines. I have run three very popular restaurants as head chef in the Philippines, set up a new Southeast Asian restaurant in Port Elizabeth, and was the Food Creative for Stir Food under the Aleit Group of Companies in Somerset West. I specialise in modern interpretations of classics and bold, unusual flavours but can just as much dish up a hearty, rustic meal that can be enjoyed by the whole family.
More about me
For me, cooking is...
A universal crossroads where people, regardless of status and background, can come together and connect.
I learned to cook at...
The age of 10 by watching my late grandmother cook. I was never allowed to touch anything in the kitchen but I always cooked in secret.
A cooking secret...
Is creativity and feeling. It allows me to make something great out of what's available. And whenever you feel good, it reflects in the food.
