Jackie Cameron School of Food and Wine

The school will offer an 18-month intensive internationally-recognised course with a maximum intake of 15 students. "Hands-on " is Jackie's philosophy and the students will be working alongside her, daily. The school will provide learners with the opportunity to experience all things foodie in a safe and secure environment. Jackie believes there is no need to have only worked in a top restaurant, locally or internationally, to succeed. "There is so much to food and I want to share all that I have been fortunate to have learnt, and experienced, with the students," she says, adding that her aim is to impart this knowledge, and to equip the students with the skills to 'go it alone'. Think new age on all levels - teaching the students how to create a balanced-and-healthy lifestyle in this crazy but extremely-rewarding industry.

Midlands born and raised Jackie’s heart is in KwaZulu-Natal where, since 2002, she has filled the position of head chef at Hartford House, a five-star boutique hotel in rural Mooi River.

Having only recently reached 30 years old, her list of achievements is what most aspiring chefs dream of.
