Private chef Pule Seshemane says the kitchen in his family home is his favourite place, as he likes to experiment there.
He tells me this while seated on a yellow, pinstriped piano stool in his home in leafy Parktown, Joburg. We are talking about the Easter holidays and the menu he has curated. For the 31-year-old chef, the religious holiday is synonymous with family.
Seshemane fondly recalls the various Easter rituals, from observing Ash Wednesday to celebrating Easter Day itself, when the family goes to a church service and returns for lunch. Seshemane’s home is filled with art, which serves as the soft-spoken chef’s inspiration — particularly a Zanele Muholi artwork in the library. “Food, I find, is also art, especially when you plate it,” he adds.The International Hotel School alumnus also studied travel and tourism at Varsity College in the hope of working and travelling overseas. But then he decided to pivot. “I love South Africa — it’s home. I wanted to start here and then go overseas,” he says.
