I'm Brigitte, and I grew up in sunny South Africa in the beautiful city of Cape Town. My country is vibrant and multicultural and is often referred to as the "Rainbow Nation".

I worked professionally as a Graphic Designer in the publishing industry for almost 20 years. In 2014, I decided to change directions and did a year of Culinary Arts at Le Cordon Bleu in Atlanta.

I now bring to Atlanta, Georgia, the essence of South African cuisine. I make dishes that have strong Cape Malay influences. It's a fusion of South African culinary traditions right from the heart of Cape Town and reflects the cultural diversity of the nation.

These dishes have become staples in South Africa, so try my spicy curries, bobotie, breyani, pickled fish, bredie (Afrikaans word for stew), and a variety of pies. For something sweet, try my milk tart, a popular South African dessert, as well as many other sweet treats that capture that complexity of the South African heritage.
