Janey grew up in sunny Cape Town, South Africa, in a large family environment, which hosted family gatherings almost every weekend. Janey’s passion for food began at a very young age, where she spent many evenings watching and helping her mom cook dinner for the family. Her attention to detail and flare for experimenting with new flavors and flavor combinations, drove her to be the creative chef she is today. After completing a diploma in fashion design, Janey decided to explore new options abroad, and went on to work as a chef/hostess on private charter boats in Croatia in the Mediterranean. It was at this time that Janey realized her absolute love for sailing, paired with professional cooking and entertaining, and therefore went on to pursue her career in the Caribbean.
