Food Stylist · Culinary Producer · Chef — Cape Town
Bringing food stories to life.
Introduction
Beautiful, approachable food for television, advertising and editorial.
I am a South African food stylist, culinary producer, recipe developer and chef. Blending technical culinary expertise with a refined creative eye, I create food that reads beautifully on camera and still works on a plate — for advertising campaigns, television, editorial publications and leading food brands.

Koskaskenades
A culinary lifestyle series in which I am set loose in the kitchens of everyday South Africans, catering for their special occasions — cooking with whatever I can find in their cupboards, fridges and freezers, plus whatever is packed in my toolbox. Every episode has a DIY segment too.
