THAT LAUGH! 😂👨‍🍳
Every kitchen has that one person whose laugh you can hear from across the room… and we think we have found ours!

We recently interviewed one of our Bidfood South Africa, and let’s just say, her personality and that unforgettable laugh certainly made an impression!

At NDS Chefs Academy, we are proud to train chefs from leading industry partners such as Bidfood, who send their chefs to NDS to develop their skills, strengthen their knowledge and grow professionally.
But training is about more than just what happens in the kitchen. It’s about people, confidence, passion, personality and building a future in the hospitality industry.
🎥 Listen to what she has to say — and see if you can make it through the interview without laughing with her!

Real training. Real skills. Real chefs. Real personalities

🎥 LISTEN TO WHAT OUR STUDENTS HAVE TO SAY!
On Monday, our NDS Chefs Academy kitchen was buzzing with training as students from Bidfood South Africa joined us for hands-on training.

We took the opportunity to chat to some of the students about their experience, what they’ve been learning and how they’re finding the training at NDS.
🎬 Listen to what they have to say!

👨‍🍳 A KITCHEN FULL OF ENERGY! 👨‍🍳

Chef Tsh*tundu was in the kitchen training Bidfood South Africa students, and you could feel the excitement from the moment they started!

A full kitchen, eager students, plenty of learning and, of course, LOTS of smiles. 😄

There’s something special about watching people learn, get hands-on and enjoy what they’re doing. When the kitchen is this busy and everyone is having fun, you know it’s a good day at NDS Chefs Academy!

CHEF J DOING WHAT HE LOVES MOST!

There’s nothing quite like seeing a chef in his element and for Chef J, that’s teaching!

Today, he was in the kitchen with students from Rand Water, sharing his skills, showing them the tricks of the trade and, of course, teaching them how to bake.

Because at NDS Chefs Academy, it’s not just about following a recipe. It’s about learning practical skills, gaining confidence and having FUN in the kitchen!

💬 NOW WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!
If you could learn ONE thing from a professional chef, what would it be?

🧀 Learning goes beyond the classroom!

Our First and Second Year students recently visited Van Gaalen Cheese Farm to experience cheesemaking and see food production in action.

Because at NDS Chefs Academy, it is not always about sitting in a classroom, sometimes it’s about getting out there, exploring, learning and living your best chef life! 👩‍🍳
