“De Oude Kraal’s food originates from the traditional farm cooking done by generations of families, in other words ‘slow cooking method’ as generally known, but served with a French flair.

Food is a passion within me and I become inspired when working with good products. It nourishes my soul being in the Free State where I have access to wonderful ingredients that arrive in our kitchen from different sources; from our Helen-Joan’s vegetable garden; bought at the fresh produce market by Helen-Joan or plainly from the local butcher.
All the produce gets inspected, smelled, touched, appreciated and respected before we start to transform them. Only then can they be approached with humility.

Food originates from the product. Products come from the soil on which we live. I live at De Oude Kraal, south of Bloemfontein in the heart of the grass plains. My heart, my feet, my food, my family has its roots here, grows, flourishes and is sustained here. I am proud of the local produce.”
