When one of the world’s strictest lockdowns rendered the restaurant industry in Cape Town practically redundant, the city’s forward-facing chefs started dishing up solutions.

We know how much our members like to be ahead of the curve, so we’re showcasing the six women and men to watch out for over the coming years. These talented new-generation chefs are all cooking at the very top of their game and have some interesting stories to tell with their menus, too.

With many of our members spending more time in the kitchen this year, we’ve teamed up with some the world’s leading chefs to compile COOK magazine, a collection of recipes that will elevate your home cooking, just in time for Christmas.
