GREAT FOOD IS UP YOUR ALLEY!
"Ignore the noise, focus on the goal and vision."
Andile Sikhakhane is Chef Scott, a South African pioneering private chef who’s cooked for many of South Africa’s elite. Internationally trained, he’s travelled extensively for work which, he says, broadened his culinary horizons and helped him develop his skills. To reach new clients, Sikhakhane creates culinary experiences, and has partnered with some impressive names such as Glenfiddich, Remy Martin and Graham Beck when hosting food and beverage pairings.
Sikhakhane is still humbled when people speak highly of him — whether it’s a student or one of his previous lecturers — a testament to his hard-working nature. “Being a chef requires a lot of patience, dedication and passion,” he says. “I see a lot of student chefs want to become private chefs right away, but it’s important for the younger ones to understand that everything happens in its time. You need to keep learning and unlearn certain things to grow in the industry.”

On one of the articles for The South African Tourism Page we wrote about Zulu Cuisine and Traditions;
The history of Zulu cuisine goes back to an era where traditions and values were important elements to the Zulu identity. Zulu cuisine is still very much influenced by tradition and its celebration of history and a commitment to culture. Owing to historical agricultural methods, a lot of foods in Zulu cuisine are organic and don’t require extensive processing. Agriculture and farming have played a principle role in pre-modernist Zulu society, and these practices have greatly influenced the culture of Zulu cuisine.
