After working at Radisson Hotel and Convention Centre, O.R. Tambo, as a student chef for just over 4 months, I was given a contract of employment as a Commis Pastry Chef by my Executive Chef. Working at Radisson allowed me to not only broaden my skills and knowledge, but also allowed me to cater for some of South Africa’s most important Politicians and Celebrities. I even had the opportunity to speak with the President of South Africa, President Cyril Ramaposa, about the lovely dishes we had catered for him.
