Worked with Kagiso Mongale. He is very experienced and knowledgeable. He keeps his lesson effective, not to mention he is always punctual and flexible.

I know him from his food stall in Centurion, very organised. He is friendly and really goes out of his way to make his customers feel special. Highly recommended.

I was so excited when I received an email for chef Kagiso's recommendation. After he serviced us, I spent almost the whole week rating and writing reviews about this amazing chef. He's is so passionate, he definitely has people skills and really knows what he is doing. For someone wanting to attend his lessons, I would say. This is your best tutor and chef.

I know Kagiso from when he cooked for our family while we were on holiday. It was a true African experience, he went out to make us feel at home. It was amazing how he added an African touch to the dishes that we have at home. I have not attended his lessons however the time I spend with him cooking in our kitchen was amazing, he was friendly, interested in knowing us and always went out of his way to make us happy. I would say that I know him personally and through his business. Gold Star rating from me and my family.

I was offered a job as a cook by Mr Kagiso when I was working as a cleaner and I did not know anything about cooking. He was very patient with me, taught me how to make sandwiches and pack them; he taught me how to grill wors and make wors rolls. I also learned how to make chicken fried chicken. I learned a lot from his business. He is a great teacher.

Kagiso assisted us in creating a menu for our virtual restaurant. He sparks a lot of creativity and experience. He's got a lot of knowledge to share, you will learn a lot if you connect with him.

I met Kagiso for the first time when he was catering at a Food Market, was really impressed by his high levels of energy and friendliness, so I decide on an online session with him. I must say, I was blown away. One of the best tutors around indeed!
