WHO IS THE FOOD GURU ?

Baz is simply a food hedonist and lush of note – everyday, every minute is consumed with making food / writing recipes / developing menu’s / styling food shots / drinking wine and loving life !!

Baz has been working in the food world for over 12 years now, having started out as a photographer – he has worked in london and berlin and spent a few years managing the innovation kitchen at woolies in cape town where he did a lot of work on developing meals for retail as well as the WW Cafe Brand. The idea of this blog is to share some of his daily food idea’s and inspiration with the world in a very no nonsense and visual way.
