HI, I'M NATALIE PETERS
Chef & Owner of Food & Events By Nats.
My love for food started at the tender age of 9 whistle cooking in the kitchen with my mom and grandma’s, that passion of cooking grew over the years and became my career. I’m classically French-trained with an International Degree in Culinary Arts & Patisserie.
I have over 21 years of experience in the food industry and built my career by gaining experience in fine dining, food writing, recipe development, food styling, food photography, digital food videos and private cheffing for various brands and 5-star establishments.
I love exploring with flavours and cooking from the heart with fresh seasonal ingredients. My career started at The Mount
Nelson as a banqueting waiter this is where I learned how to host events to the finest detail from the decor setting to the
cooking and serving of food.
I take pride in my work and are inspired by the world renowned chef I have had the honour to meet and work with over the
years. My food heroes in the industry is Chef Paul Hartman( Who trained me ), Michelle Roux jnr, Marco Pierre White
( Which I have shared a stage with ) Jan Henrik van Der Westhuizen and Jamie Oliver.
To me food is an art that engages all the senses. The gastronomy of food is a celebration that brings the bountiful gift of
nature and cultures together that’s why I love exploring food from different cultures through my travels......
