By surname

Kobus van der Merwe

Kobus van der Merwe was born in the Kalahari and raised in the Boland. Spending his childhood travelling between these two dramatically different locations, he nurtured a love for the South African landscape, its people and unique plant kingdom. Following a half-hearted attempt at culinary school, a diploma in media studies at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, and a handful of years as web editor for a restaurant magazine, Kobus finally found his groove as country chef in a tiny kitchen in Paternoster on the Cape West Coast.

Kobus is the author of Strandveldfood.
