A small introduction because it's way overdue... I am Nelleke, passionate pasty chef, food stylist and -consultant living a slower and simpler life in the beautiful Garden Route, in South Africa. I have recently stepped out of the guest house industry after eight beautiful years pouring my creativity into a boutique gueat house started and renovated by my husband and I.
My daughter was recently diagnosed with celieac disease, so I am inspired to developing gluten free versions for my favourite recipes.
This space is to inspire, share recipes and more importantly build a community of passionate foodies and bakers.

So loving George-life, please LIKE my page for my beautiful new guest house in George and pop in if you are in the area!
Our guests often ask us for advice on what to see and do in and around George, so our Assistant Manager, Yvette Delport, has done some research and come up with our "Top 5 Things Do in George".
The exciting news is that I'm moving to George at the end of the month. I am excited to be connecting with fellow foodies there and will work as a free-lance food consultant, doing food styling and recipe development. Contact me if you need help with your food presentation, service systems or need beautiful images for marketing.
Some summer inspiration...
