Description
What does it take to truly transform the culinary industry not just from the plate up, but from the people up? Jackie Cameron has the answer, and it starts with one unforgettable moment when a hotel owner told her to stop doing the work and start teaching others how to do it.
In this episode, Jackie one of South Africa's Top 10 chefs and founder of the Jackie Cameron School of Food & Wine gets refreshingly candid about why she walked away from award-winning restaurants to build something far more meaningful: a culinary school in the KZN Midlands that is quietly revolutionising how young South African chefs are trained, nurtured and set up for life.
In this episode:
Jackie speak on what’s broken in traditional kitchen culture
Why mental well-being and physical fitness are now as important as knife skills
How Jackie's students are learning to put their heritage on a plate and tell their stories through food
Plus, Marli Roberts, Woolworths Head of Product: Central Sensory Quality and Innovation, shares the opportunities the company has for culinary students. She also explain Woolworths culture of constant improvement and innovation.
