"I LOVE THE TASTE AND TEXTURE OF FOOD, BUT WE ALSO EAT WITH OUR EYES AND SO EVERYTHING I DO STARTS HERE."

From my humble beginnings cooking breakfasts in a small hotel, I'm now - proudly - one of South Africa’s most influential names in food and hospitality. I'm known for my love of food, art, wine and a good braai.

A chef, restaurateur and artist, I feed off everything in my environment. A restaurant space almost dictates what ends up on the plate - I'll hand pick the lettuce as well as the ceramic plate you will eat it off.

David has been a Mercedes Benz brand ambassador for several years and is a presenter alongside J'Something for the MNET reality cooking show, My Kitchen Rules South Africa.

When he's not shying away from being a celebrity chef you can find him on his mountain bike, making cooking videos for his YouTube channel, or walking his dog Carlos (the booi).
