After completing a chef’s course in Pretoria and an internship under acclaimed chefs Margot Janse and Chris Erasmus in Franschhoek, Anna Carolina headed back home to eMkhondo (Piet Retief), where she ran a successful bistro for two years. During this time, she developed a love for blogging and food media, so she packed her bags once more and moved to Cape Town, where she has been cooking and styling food ever since. She is a monthly contributor to Pick n Pay’s Fresh Living magazine and was the food stylist on Neill Anthony – Private Chef (SABC3), Siba’s Table Season 2 (Food Network), Jenny and Reza’s Fabulous Food Academy (Food Network) and Just Cooking (BBC Lifestyle).
