Meet Chef Daniels
Mr Reuben Daniels is
currently the Executive Sous Chef of Misty Hills. He is originally from Cape
Town, South Africa and is simply just passionate about food. In his own words
he states, “Being a chef is in my blood,
I am a natural born foodie!”
He knew he wanted to
become a chef even as a young boy. “When
all other children would be playing outside, I would rather be inside with my
grandmother, helping her light her coal stove”. He further mentions how he
found it absolutely fantastic how all the different ingredients would fuse
together to produce such lovely aromas.
In his career as a
Professional Chef, he has had the privilege not to mention the pleasure of
working with great chefs like Ralph van Pletzen, Richard Carstens and Reuben
Riffels. His career path has taken him through the award winning Roots
Restaurant, the Chaine des Rotisseurs, the Country Club of Johannesburg where
he catered for events such as the Telkom PGA Classic World Tour before joining
us here at Misty Hills.
His unique style takes a
classic dish and adds a drop, or a splash of Reuben, who is young, modern and (both
figuratively and literally) “bold”. He gives dishes a unique Reuben twist and
interpretation. One such dish is his Tian of Prawns, which he plates on a slate
that includes delicious crushed up prawn crackers. This is plated for beautiful
presentation with amazing contrasting textures.
