Charmaine Lehabe is living proof that, armed with a Diploma in Food Preparation and Cooking, the world is your oyster and there to be explored and enjoyed.
The 29-year-old chef, born and raised in Pretoria has, since graduating in 2019, travelled the world, living and working in the US and UK, with periods in-between spent back home as a caterer, a private chef and a food consultant.
Lehabes love for food began home, where her grandmothers influence laid the foundation for her culinary dreams.
Food was always a part of our lives, Lehabe recalled fondly.
From baking biscuits with my grandmother to making scones, those kitchen moments were magical.
