Hi, my name is Michael Strydom and I have been a professional chef since the year 2008. Over the years I have worked in various establishments and gained experience and knowledge about different food styles and techniques. Unfortunately, back in 2018 my career as a chef ended due to a car accident where both my legs were broken. It was hard getting a job, no establishment wanted a chef on 4 legs. I took a job as stock controller and I worked there for a couple of years just to provide for my family.  My wife started doing home cooked meals just to basically survive, but the more food we made and the more clients we got the bigger my dream in starting my own business. In the last year we started not only doing weekly dinner home cooked meals, we started with meals you can just pop in the freezer, and heat when ready to eat. The business started picking up and my excitement grew along with it. Yes my wife did all the cooking while I was working, I guided her and she managed to learn a lot. But I could see this wasn’t for her, she doesn’t want to be the chef. She constantly reminded me that I was the chef and she could see the passion in me whenever I was making the meals. So, I finally decided to quit my job as a stock controller and be the chef. I am in need of funds to grow my business and acquire new equipment.
