Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate
Take a step back in time and we find where her journey began. Living and growing up on a farm outside the very beautiful Otjiwarongo in Namibia, Annie’s love and appreciation for food started at a young age.
An invaluable life lesson that Annie carries with her every day is one taught to her by her dad. Learning how to work an animal through - not to waste a single part - plays a big part in her menu preparations today.
Her passion for finely cooked food saw her leave the borders of Namibia and enter into the opportunity filled South Africa. Pursuing her hunger for fine cuisine, she obtained a Practical Cookery & Patisserie Diploma at the well-known Zevenwacht Chef School.
With a world of knowledge behind her, Annie soon began her crisp culinary career. Beginning under the guidance of Craig Cormack at All Things Culinary, she quickly excelled and moved on to Sofia’s at Morgenster followed by The Restaurant and then Eikendal and Eques at Cavalli.
Today, she is the head chef at the luxurious Benguela Cove Restaurant. Over the years she has developed her philosophy to be one of keeping things fresh, local and in the moment of inspiration.
Visit the Benguela Cove Restaurant and tantalize your taste buds with some of Annie’s delectable dishes.
