Born and raised in KwaZulu-Natal with roots in Zimbabwe, Byron du Bois discovered his passion for food and hospitality at an early age, inspired by his mother’s exceptional cooking. Spending hours in the kitchen with her ignited a lifelong love for the culinary arts that has guided his 18-year career. Having honed his skills in professional kitchens across hotels, lodges, and fine dining establishments, Byron has drawn inspiration from working with chefs of diverse backgrounds. His culinary journey took him to the Middle East, where his appreciation for global cuisine deepened as he immersed himself in different cultures through food.
