Wow!! Such a wonderful day! Cannot believed we achieved all we did in the cooking class. Then the feast we enjoyed with friends left us all full of joy. Our house smelt amazing!(smells) The presentation was exceptional (sight) and then the tastebuds got a work out (taste). Yes it was, as promised, a party of the senses. Very professional but still a tonne of fun!
Thank you Jan.

Jan is an incredible chef (& all round lovely person!). She is always very responsive, and works with our family to cater to everyone’s dietary requirements and preferences. The food she prepares is absolutely to-die-for, and takes a huge pressure off when family life gets busy. We would not hesitate to recommend Jan’s services.

Chef Jan did the food service for us at my son’s wedding and she did an amazing job at extremely short notice and on a shoestring budget. Without her the event would have been super stressful and difficult. Jan took charge of the waitstaff and worked with a rather potted and economical choice of ingredients to come up with the most amazing appetizers. Talk about a Pro. She orchestrated the presentation and delivery of the main course buffet, set up the cake and dessert and kept everything humming in the kitchen. Talented, hardworking and extremely good fun, Jan fit right in and saved the day for us. I highly recommend Jan for any type of event you are planning, believe me, she will
make all the difference. Thanks Jan 🙏😊🤗

Jan catered for our recent staff Christmas party and we were blown away with the delicious feast prepared by Jan. There was an abundance of tasty, fresh and simply amazing food. Even the presentation was next level. Homemade breads and hummus, delicious grilled haloumi shots infused with lemon, the best every coconut chicken curry just to name a few. Her passion for food shown through in each dish that she created. And her warm and bubbly personality was the icing on the cake. Thank you so much Jan for creating the perfect Christmas party for our wonderful staff.
