Meet The Pink Chef

Dylan Millar

 

I am a bright, highly creative, talented and ambitious Chef and patisserie exponent. My passion is to continue to hone and develop my skills in every aspect of the industry I love. As a business owner and Front of house Manager for some of South Africa’s top restaurants, I have developed independence and great marketing, management and people skills. Above all though, I still value and seek the experience that can be gained from any challenge to do something new, exciting and extraordinary. 

I was chosen as one of only 3 out of 50 applicants to be accepted into the Chef training course at the exclusive five star ‘De Hoek Country Hotel.’ It was in this kind of quality environment that I studied and from which I emerged as the expert exponent of all the areas of catering that I am today. 

From being a consultant on retainer as front of house Manager for top restaurants like DW 11- 13 and Lupa Ostaria, to being the sole proprietor in my own business, I have always displayed resilience, flexibility and a fierce determination to ensure that every order, no matter how big or small, is carried out to perfection – and with a smile!
