Today, I am introducing to you dynamite in a small package. Kiara Axelson is passionate, determined and extremely hard working - all the traits required for the making of a great chef. And don’t try to push her around…

Zesty Berry Cheesecake with Aimée Hohls

Some years back I organised a week-long, holiday cooking course for interested learners from local schools. The following year past-students, Georg Lens and Brynn Enslin enrolled at Jackie Cameron School of Food & Wine. There was a young girl, in that particular group, who had a natural flair with food, and I knew that she would enrol for my culinary course, when her school days were over.

Celebrating Graduation Day 2020 & 2021

August saw the graduation of 16 students at Jackie Cameron School of Food & Wine. The occasion celebrated those who graduated last year - lockdown restrictions preventing the 2020 event – and those who graduated this year.

Stir Fry with Dylan Pretorius-Spires

Over the past three years Dylan Pretorius-Spires has spent time at Jackie Cameron School of Food & Wine to familiarise himself with the campus and the curriculum. Back then he was quiet and shy – definitely not the Dylan I know today… I encourage anyone considering a career in the culinary industry to do this, because it provides insight into what is expected of a student here.

Jade Busse In The Spotlight

This month Jade Busse is in the spotlight. Umtentweni, on the South Coast, was Jade’s home until the family moved to Durban when she was 11 years old. Jade comes across as softly spoken but I am no longer fooled by her demure manner because when the students are taking a break together, it’s generally her voice and laughter that I hear.

MasterChef South Africa: Immunity Pin Challenge

MasterChef South Africa truly was such a fantastic memory in my culinary career - it was extremely nerve-wracking as I had no clue who I was up against. I was shaking to the max by the end of this and was battling to place the pea shoot perfectly on top of my guinea fowl “coq au vin” because of these shakes. This is no lies.
