“I want 2011 to be about creating excitement in the kitchen! Food is exciting and it unites and brings joy to many people. That is what my kitchen is about.” So says Craig Paterson, Londolozi’s brand new Head Chef. Flanked by his Executive Sous Chef, Petrus Morapedi, the dynamic duo are now leading the charge in electrifying the Londolozi kitchen to new levels.
Both Petrus and Craig clearly enjoy their craft. Between them they have headed up over a dozen different kitchens throughout 3 continents and the two of them are forthright in their belief that a passionate, hands on attitude is what drives them in their combined quest for TASTE. Craig goes on to say “I just love the creativity and pairing of food and wine. To see the transformation of raw ingredients into something spectular is both exciting and sexy.”
Londolozi’s kitchen has hit the ground running in 2011 and, with a successful festive season under the belt, the kitchen team are flourishing under the rejuvenated guidance and menu of Craig and Petrus. And if you don’t believe me, you’ll have to come and taste for yourself….
