Trained as a chef in classic French and Mediterranean cuisine where the climate is similar to the climate here in the Western Cape, Nerina Pantry is where my family’s legacy meets my personal dream. Here, I use only the freshest, most natural, and finest local ingredients from the Little Karoo’s bountiful harvests to preserve the natural goodness of the harvested food with as little refinement and additions as possible. Locked in sunshine flavours, vitamins, minerals and taste-sensations, home preserving is a way of live. ‘Waste not, want not’ is the old saying.
Home-preparation is my antidote to the fast, convenience packaging, branded and status-driven food media that assault us from the internet and supermarket shelves.
Welcome to Nerina Pantry, where every meal is a celebration of tradition and the rich flavours of our land.
