The passion of Garth Stroebel, renowned as an innovator in the field of culinary art, and Paul Hartmann has prompted the opening of the South African Culinary Academy, a school of culinary art that will offer customised training for school-leavers and aspirant chefs from January 2004.
The school will provide tomorrow’s chefs with world-class training to meet the skills shortage and dire need for qualified chefs in the hospitality industry.
The campus is conveniently located in Observatory in Cape Town and will offer an upmarket environment and training facilities for 45 students per year.
