Presenting my food with a delicate touch just like a work of art. If the food doesn't taste as good as it looks then I know I've underdelivered and back to drawing board, I go. 'I'm influenced by many cuisines. I liken myself to being a chameleon in the kitchen. I'm able to use various techniques I've developed while staying true to the flavours of any specific dish from any part of the world.

'Having said that, I do like to try different food types from plain, wholesome cottage pie to Indonesian Nasi Goreng with lots of other food types in between. I do tend to veer down the pan-Asian route - inspired by my father's cooking, who was influenced during WW2 and when he spent time in the Far East.'

Sophie was born and grew up in Essex. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Describing her style of cooking, Sophie said: 'I'd describe my style of cooking as rogue plant-based food. I didn't stop eating meat because I didn't like it, I just didn't want to eat animals anymore. I still cook meat for friends and family, I just don't eat it myself. I love recreating the textures and flavours of meaty dishes in a way that still excites the palate. 'Beautiful, fresh, seasonal ingredients are usually the stars of my dishes. Plants are incredibly diverse, and I love showcasing what they can do. If you think about it, it's usually the ingredients around the meat that make a dish exciting. A plain steak might be nice, but it's the celeriac miso purée, sticky glazed carrot, and rich jus that really elevate the plate. 'I love to experiment with different cuisines, and I love food stories and origins, so trying dishes from difference cultures and hearing about where they come from and the stories behind the dishes.' Yen, 38 - Carlisle Data scientist Yen lives in Carlisle with her husband and two rescue dogs, Lilu and Morpheus.

San Restaurant unveils immersive Chef's Table experience

If you're looking for a dining experience that goes beyond the plate, the Sandton Sun & Towers has just raised the bar. Nestled inside the iconic San Restaurant, the newly launched Chef's Table invites guests to slow down, savour, and step into the heart of the kitchen for a truly immersive culinary journey. Guided by Executive Chef Gerard Vingerling and award-winning sommelier Miguel Chan, the experience begins outdoors with Mediterranean-inspired bites before moving into an intimate seated showcase in the kitchen itself. The seven-course menu is bespoke, changing with the seasons and guest preferences, and highlights premium ingredients like Cape Wagyu, Karoo lamb, and fresh coastal greens, all paired with carefully curated wines from both prestigious and emerging South African estates. 'Every ingredient has a voice,' says Vingerling. 'Our job is to listen and translate that into something guests can feel, not just taste. Each member of our kitchen contributes their memories, their backgrounds, and their personal taste. That's what makes this more than a menu, it's a conversation on a plate.' Chan adds that the wine selection follows the same philosophy. 'Some of South Africa's most interesting wines aren't on supermarket shelves. They're crafted in small batches by winemakers obsessed with detail. Those are the bottles we want on the table.' The Chef's Table is an intimate lunch experience that's made for special occasions. It's all about connecting over incredible food, thoughtfully paired wines, and good conversation. Bookings are by reservation only, so make sure you call ahead. The seven-course menu is priced at R1,400 per person (excluding wine), with an optional wine pairing available from R895 per person, featuring one 100ml glass per course or seven glasses per bottle. For a meal that's part performance, part culinary adventure, this Chef's Table is definitely a table worth talking about. Hungry for more?
