Chef: Lianne Harris

Great wanderlust took her out of her birthplace of South Africa where she was a high school teacher and guidance counsellor, just over 5 years ago. She spent 1 year sailing the Caribbean & New England then crossed the Atlantic and spent 2 years in the Med. During this time, she realized her great passion for cooking and from then on decided that's all she wanted to do. Being a typical Durbanite” she decided to spend 5 weeks in India doing yoga and learning about curries. She has since worked as a sole chef on smaller size motor yacht's and as a sous chef on larger motor yacht's where she learned sous vide and convection ways of cooking, thus ensuring healthier more nutritional meals. Just recently she spent 4 weeks in Bangkok learning to be a master chef in Thai cuisine as well as dabbled in Japanese and Asian cuisine. When she’s not cooking, she'll be either scuba diving or skiing down the highest mountain she can come across
