Resort, Victoria Falls Safari Lodge as an apprentice and I earned a National Certificate in professional cookery, apprentice certificate, class one journeyman certificate. I was mentored under Chef Jacob Munyai as a chef for 2 years. Following this experience, I held a chef position within a 5-star boutique hotel for a lead at Victoria Falls Safari Club for 1 year. I then managed to join one of the leading Cruise line with free style dining, Norwegian Escape, of the Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings company. I am currently holding a head chef position at Hippo Pools Wilderness Camp.
Whether preparing a small intimate dinner or a 7-course affair, I take pride in delighting clients with delicious meals prepared to the highest standards. My mission is to exceed customer expectations, impress my diners and I have earned a reputation for doing precisely that throughout my career.
I am well versed in preparing ethnic cuisine (e.g., Italian, Indian, French) using the freshest ingredients. I also enjoy creating unique dishes that blend unexpected flavor combinations. In addition, I am experienced in meeting special dietary needs and requests, including gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, low-calorie, low-carb and dairy-free meals.
It would be a pleasure to prepare sample dishes for you and your team to give you a “taste” of my culinary style.[/vc_column_text][nectar_cta btn_style=”arrow-animation” heading_tag=”h5″ text_color=”#0a0000″ button_color=”default” link_type=”regular” alignment=”left” display=”block” link_text=”Visit Kitchen Gallery” url=”https://www.cheftkay.co.zw/kitchen-diaries” margin_top=”20″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#181a1c” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”6%” bottom_padding=”6%” text_color=”light” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_gallery type=”flickity_style” images=”2808,2807,5905,5906,5899,5894″ flickity_spacing=”default” flickity_controls=”material_pagination” flickity_overflow=”hidden” flickity_wrap_around=”wrap” flickity_desktop_columns=”3″ flickity_small_desktop_columns=”3″ flickity_tablet_columns=”1″ flickity_box_shadow=”x_large_depth” image_loading=”default” onclick=”link_no” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
