For one, it is not nearly as glamorous as it is often depicted in the media. In fact, it is tough, demanding and relentless. If someone is really committed to following a career as a chef, including the long, often anti-social hours, it is an exciting and rewarding choice. It has certainly been rewarding to be part of the growing gourmet culture in Stellenbosch \u2013 I can\u2019t think of a better place to experience great food and wine than on a wine farm like Kleine Zalze…’ <\/em>(received via media release from Manley Communications)<\/p>\n
