I’m Chef Tshepi, and I bring a personalized touch to every culinary journey. Food, for me, is about connection—whether it’s family, friends, or colleagues, my passion is in creating meals that bring people together and leave lasting memories.
I learned to cook by watching my gran, traveling through cultures, and completing culinary school—discovering how food connects us along the way.
Each dish is tailored to your tastes, with fresh ingredients and thoughtful techniques that turn every occasion into something special.
I bring inspiration from diverse cultures, blending traditions and modern ideas for a unique culinary experience.
It’s not just about food, it’s about creating moments filled with connection, joy, and flavor.
I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 1057.20 ZAR, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.
I cook Italian, Mediterranean, Fusion and Japanese. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.
To book me in South Africa, click the Book Now button on this page and follow the steps. You'll add your event date, guest count, and any dietary restrictions as you go. Once your request comes through, I read it myself and reply with a menu proposal and the dates I have open.
Yes. I regularly cook for Birthday, Family reunion, Bachelor/Bachelorette, Friends gathering, Romantic night and Foodie adventure. I handle the menu, the timing, and the setup so the meal fits the kind of event you're throwing. Send me your date and I'll check whether I'm free.

Hiring Chef Tshepiso for my partner's birthday weekend was one of the best decisions I've made. From start to finish, she was absolutely phenomenal. I truly cannot recommend her enough. What stood out immediately was her energy. She is warm, friendly, and a genuine joy to have around, while still being completely respectful of our privacy and space. She struck that perfect balance of being present without being intrusive, which made the whole experience feel effortless and comfortable. She was punctual, patient, professional, and incredibly accommodating. Our schedule wasn't always perfectly on time, and she handled every adjustment with grace and zero fuss. She also considered my pregnancy while creating the meals without me having to ask much, that level of thoughtfulness and care meant the world to me. Beyond the logistics, what really moved me was her passion. You can feel it in every dish she creates. She was also generous enough to educate us about the meals and ingredients, which added such a meaningful layer to the experience. It felt less like a service and more like being welcomed into something special. As for the food, it was outstanding. I've eaten at quite a few restaurants recently, and honestly, her meals surpassed all of them. That's not a small thing to say. My partner, who is quite a picky eater, not only enjoyed every meal but was genuinely happy and appreciative throughout the entire weekend. That alone says everything. If you're looking for a private chef who brings talent, heart, professionalism, and wonderful energy into your home, look no further. We will absolutely be booking her again.
