Head Chef and Owner of The Pot Luck Club Cape Town, Salon in the Kalahari, The Pot Luck Club Johannesburg, and TTK Fledglings Cape Town
“Our Fledglings Crew and Potluck Crew went from strength to strength after their experience at the Sense of Taste Chef School. The tuition and mentoring they received truly gave them the confidence to stand on their own two feet and the self-respect they so richly deserved.
The Sense of Taste Chef School has excellent facilities and an outstanding syllabus. Their attention to detail is second to none.
I would have absolutely no hesitation in sending further learners to the Sense of Taste Chef School.”
⭐ Chef Graham Oldfield
Chef and Co-owner of Bao Down
“Bao Down has had the privilege of working with Sense of Taste Chef School for the past six years. Sense of Taste is no ordinary chef school; Deb’s ensures that students and Sense of Taste are a perfect match.
This not only ensures that the school does well but that the environment created for students allows them to flourish. Their student’s come into the industry with a great mindset and a willingness to learn, many of whom we’ve offered full-time jobs to. We value the effort and time Deb’s and Peter put into their students and it shows when they step into the kitchen.
We look forward to continuing our relationship with Sense of Taste and working with the young men and women who’ll be making their names in the hospitality industry.”
