About the author:

Midlands born and raised, Cameron’s heart is in KwaZulu-Natal. She is one of the most exciting chefs working in South Africa today. Cameron graduated from the Christina Martins School of Food and Wine in 2001 and cut her teeth at Mount Grace Country House and Spa before moving to Hartford House.

Under her leadership, the Hartford House restaurant in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands has been in the top 10 in all of the South African culinary awards, achieving the first when she was just 25 years old. Cameron also writes a monthly column for The Witness newspaper where, through her stories and her recipes, she encourages readers to experiment with food — and to enjoy culinary feasts, however simple. And Jackie has also created her own line of chic, fashionable chef’s clothing.
