Get to know me better
Hello! I'm Keanen, a Private Chef & Fine Dining Expert. Crafting Unforgettable Meals with Love & Fresh Ingredients. Let's Share a Delicious Experience
I am a professional chef with 10 years experience in Fine Dining. I studied at olive Chef school in the free state and got an advance diploma in culinary arts in 2014. I then went on to work at the esteemed Delaire Graff restaurant under head chef Michael Deg. In 2017 I ventured on and was a part of a team of amazing chefs who opened La Petite Colombe in Franschoek under then Head chef John Norris-Rogers, where I remained until 2020. In 2021 I moved to Cape town to work under James Gaag, the executive chef of the La Colombe Restaurant group. I am currently the head Chef of La Colombe at silvermist wine estate. Now, I look to bring some of my culinary expertise into the homes of my clients, to create memorable experiences with mouth watering flavors.

More about me
For me, cooking is...
For me, cooking is a passion that brings people together and creates lasting memories. It is a way to nurture and care for others.
I learned to cook at...
Various different restaurants. Delaire Graaf, la Petite Colombe, La Colombe. But it all started in my mom's kitchen, when I was a young boy.
A cooking secret...
My secret in the kitchen is creativity; I don't just follow recipes, instead I use them as inspiration to create something entirely new and unique.
