Seasoned Recruitment SA

Seasoned is a South African company that works with private chefs and recruits for the hospitality industry. Its team of chefs caters and cooks at any location, covering low key gatherings, intimate private functions, elegant weddings, brand launches and parties of any sort, and most of that work happens in clients' own homes. Alongside the booking service it runs a recruitment side for employers who want to hire a chef of their own, reached through the Seasoned Recruitment and Recruit a Chef pages.

The specialisation is food and the people who cook it. Dining concepts are built around the client's needs and desires, whether that is a traditional sit down menu, canapes or elegant roaming mini meals, and the company says it prides itself on fresh, seasonal produce and certified organic free range meat wherever possible. The service is described as comprehensive, running from tailoring the menu through to leaving the kitchen in sparkling condition once the work is done, and chefs will cook for a small family celebration just as readily as for a full dinner party. Galleries of private chef work and a highlight video set out what the Seasoned chef experience involves, and the site carries references, testimonials and a page on the high profile clients the company has cooked for over the years.

Seasoned works with chefs in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban and throughout South Africa, and its own pages are organised around those three cities. Clients book a chef or ask about recruitment through the site, by telephone on +27 71 133 4993 or by email at [email protected], and the company will travel for an event when asked. Its own summary of why clients return is straightforward: no one should be exempt from the taste experience of truly great food.
