My name is Lee Khoza, and food has always been my passion — from cooking and baking to sharing meals, capturing their beauty, and most importantly, teaching others how to create them.

I trained in Johannesburg, South Africa, through the Hospitality Industry Training Board (HITB) in partnership with the Carlton Hotel, where I earned my industry qualification as a Chef de Partie. This experience gave me both technical expertise and a deep appreciation for the art of hospitality within South Africa’s vibrant culinary culture.

During my studies, I explored a wide range of subjects, including:

Introduction to the Hospitality Industry

Professional Cookery

Menu Planning

Food Costing

Culinary French

Today, I bring that knowledge and South African culinary spirit into my teaching, helping learners of all levels gain confidence in the kitchen. My goal is to make cooking and baking approachable, enjoyable, and creative — turning simple ingredients into dishes that delight.
