Meet Lize, another talented former student with a great success story.

She established a dynamic small business that encompasses sourdough courses, artistic plating workshops, personalised private chef offerings, and specialised catering for weddings and events. Additionally, she provides expert consultancy to elevate culinary standards. Her journey in the culinary arts is a blend of passion and innovation, recognised through awards such as the World Cake Icing Competition at the Guru Nanak Institution in India and Namibia's Young Junior Chef of the Year.

''My journey into the culinary world began at the Purple Fig Cooking School, where I witnessed a spark of passion in my lecturer that ignited a profound curiosity within me about the essence of food. This experience sparked a deep-seated passion and a thirst for understanding what food truly means to me. Through cooking, I discovered an outlet for my creativity, gaining confidence and inspiration along the way. It's fostered in me a love not just for food itself, but for the entire process, from nurturing ingredients to creating something from scratch. Cooking has become a journey of discovery, teaching me about life's complexities and the beauty found in every dish.''
