Cook At Home In Cape Town
Get to know me better
As a proud Cape Malay, I share the flavors and love of my heritage through traditional cuisine with a modern twist.
I'm a proud Cape Malay food entrepreneur with a passion for sharing the flavors and love of my heritage. Born and raised in Bo-Kaap, Cape Town, I grew up surrounded by the vibrant culture and delicious cuisine of my community.
Inspired by my family's traditional recipes and cooking techniques, I've always been driven to create delicious, memorable culinary experiences that bring people together. My journey as a chef began during the lockdown period, and I've since been dedicated to crafting authentic, mouth-watering dishes that celebrate my Cape Malay roots.
As a Local Cape Malay Halaal Private/Personal Chef, I specialize in Halaal catering with a focus on seafood, providing unique and unforgettable culinary experiences. Through my pop-up shop, I'm committed to delivering quality, attention to detail, and personalized customer service, ensuring every bite is a reflection of my love for food, culture, and community.

More about me
For me, cooking is...
My passion, my creativity, and my connection to my Cape Malay Heritage.
I learned to cook at...
Home, where my mother's/grandmother's cooking inspired me to experiment, create, and innovate.
A cooking secret...
My secret ingredient is a pinch of Cape Malay magic, passed down through generations of my family.
