Marcia Tyobeka is the head chef of De Hoop Collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marcia is the proud mother of twins. She was born and bred in Rustenburg, but the bush has always had a special place in her heart.\u00a0She enjoys big family gatherings where they eat and laugh until their stomachs hurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you always know that you wanted to be a chef?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I discovered my passion for cooking in high school through home economics.\u00a0After school I went on to study at Vector College and qualified as a chef.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where do you draw inspiration for your dishes?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes from my mother and grandmother for hearty, home-cooked meals, and sometimes from my mentor and good friend, Judy Dyson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of Marcia’s creations. Yummy!<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Take us through your creative processes: whether it’s designing menus or coming up with new dishes?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming up with new dishes where I can put my own signature on it. I try and evoke a “eat-with-your-eyes” experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you enjoy most about what you do?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharing my knowledge with other chefs and training young chefs, especially the scullers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Name 3 women you admire and why.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My mother, grandmother and Judy Dyson (magogo). Judy is my mentor \u2013 I have known her for a very long. We have worked together in places like Madikwe\u00a0Game Reserve, Tuningi Safari Lodge,\u00a0Motswiri\u00a0Private Safari Lodge,\u00a0Buffalo\u00a0Ridge Safari Lodge, Thakadu\u00a0River Camp\u00a0and here at De\u00a0Hoop\u00a0Collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any advice for other women?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Never give up. You are stronger than you think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
