The Long Table With Friends (The South African)

ABOUT

The Return!!!

After a four year hiatus, breaking glass ceilings , winning awards and taking names. Chef Mmabatho has finally returned back to where it all started.

"Cooking has always been a part of who I am, it's never felt as a skill that I have acquired but rather something that I just have to share. So much so that when it stops making sense, when it stops being heartfelt and genuine I feel as if a certain part of me is not being true to myself. And as I often do I took a break to reset, recenter and try to figure out why it started and where it truly is going. For me that means going back to the beginning."

Which is why I bring to you "The South African"
