What’s your signature dish?

Filet Mignon served with Dauphinoise Potatoes, Spinach & Feta Roulade and Asparagus

How do you go about creating the perfect menu for your clients?

① Think season: If it's hot outside, make it easy on yourself and leave the oven off. Throw together some simple salads and grill meat or fish. If it's cool, serve something comforting like a big pot of soup or a roast chicken, and some simple vegetable side dishes.

② Pick a main dish and go from there. Let your main dish determine the flavor profile for the meal: If you're serving a spicy Thai dip as a main, pick side dishes that complement those flavors, like steamed coconut rice and stir-fried Asian greens with ginger and garlic. If you're serving a heavier main course, like pappardelle al ragu, choose a light starter, like citrus salad with arugula and crumbled feta. The goal is balance.

③ Think starter, main, sides and dessert. You don't need to have every one of the courses to make a good meal, but they make for good starting points. I like to have some snacks and wine out when guests arrive (this both makes them happy and buys me time to finish cooking).

④ Choose only one complicated dish.

What do you love most about your job?

My company genuinely cares about the people who use our services and the staff who work hard to achieve great care and want the best experience for both. They are true to their values

2. I love that I’m encouraged to try new things out and be innovative… and if it doesn’t work out I’m supported to learn lessons, dust myself off and try again

3. My boss acknowledges he is not the font of all knowledge; he values and respects my experience and the expertise I bring

4. There is always something to laugh about every single day…laughing is good for my soul and my psychological wellbeing

5. It’s ok for me not to know everything, but boy am I learning so much so quickly

6. The office is the kind of place where it’s ok to have a baby join us for meetings and make everyone coo over him, lifting our spirits

7. I love the people I work with across the company. I work with some awesome, talented, funny, dedicated staff

8. On a day-to-day basis there is a sense that we are working towards a grand, achievable vision and I proudly see us making strides towards it every day and making it a reality

9. Every day is different challenging and exciting. No two days are the same

10. My opinion matters and so does everybody else’s whatever level they are

11. My job gives me the opportunity to have a positive impact on people’s lives and make a difference every day. I go home and I know I made a real difference

12. I aspire to inspire people and I am actually doing this

13. I see people who use our services supported to become the best versions of themselves. It is so rewarding to see this knowing that even if only indirectly, I have had a small part to play in that

Why should our clients choose you?

At Ilanga Estate, I really want my clients to understand the process of planning a wedding or a function, therefore I make time available to talk to, guide, advice and help my clients, by not only answering every questions, no matter how obvious or self evident the answers may be, but to show practical examples of what worked and what does not work. I also make planning guides, menus, recommendation lists and other information available to my clients. I am concerned with Customer Satisfaction Index – and strive to be better and better every day.
