N\u00e1 sy studies by Boland College Stellenbosch (2011 to 2013) het Wynand vir ‘n spyseniersmaatskappy begin werk, waar hy die geleentheid gehad het om vir bekendes soos pres. Cyril Ramaphosa, Justin Bieber en Bon Jovi te kook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Ek het al vir van bekendes tot die haweloses gekook en elke keer is dit vir my net ‘n plesier. Om my restaurant op op die ouderdom van 36 te kan open, is net ‘n se\u00ebn,” s\u00ea Wynand.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Televisie-roem<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Wynand het onlangs op die gewilde kulin\u00eare werklikheidsprogram Drukkoker op VIA (DStv-kanaal 147) verskyn, waar vyf sjef-entrepreneurspare meeding om ‘n belegging van R300\u2009000 vir hul voedselonderneming te wen.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Drukkoker was wonderlik. Ek is mal daaroor om voor die kameras te wees en sosiaal te verkeer, en om dus met vervaardigers soos Nina Swart en Zandri Douglas te werk, was net amazing!” vertel hy opgewonde.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die konsep van Wynand se restaurant sal “rustic yet comfort”<\/em> wees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Ek is ‘n nostalgise sjef. Onthoukos laat my hart klop. Mense kan smaakvolle, diep-lekker watertanddisse geniet wat hulle sal \u00adterugneem na hul ma en ouma se dae toe,” verduidelik hy.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tans werk Wynand ook aan ‘n kookboek met die titel Onthoukos, met al sy resepte wat deur familieresepte ge\u00efnspireer is en wat hy oor die jare by familie en vriende geleer het.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wynand het ‘n sterk ondersteuningsnetwerk, met sy pa, Andy, as sy bestuur\u00adder. “As konsultant-sjef het ek my hande vol, maar ek het ‘n baie goeie bestuurspan agter my.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n As ‘n inwoner van Pni\u00ebl l\u00ea dit naby aan sy hart om aan sy gemeenskap terug te gee \u2013 veral die jeug. “Ek is dol oor plaaslike produkte, dus sal my bestanddele sal uit die vallei wees.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wynand streef ook daarna om eendag sy eie kookskool te open om jongmense met talent te help om dit te ontwikkel.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Volgende op Wynand se lys is sy eie kookprogram en die publikasie van sy kookboek. “Ek is mal daaroor om met mense te werk,” vertel hy.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hoewel hy erken dat die grootste risiko van ‘n eie restaurant die onsekerheid is of mense sal kom, die kos sal geniet en sal terugkom, is hy vol vertroue oor sy aanbod.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Die plaaslike gemeenskap is so ondersteunend en opgewonde. Dis regtig \u00adamazing om die ondersteuning van my mense te sien \u2013 my mede-Stellies-gemeenskap,” s\u00ea Wynand dankbaar.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die restaurant open komende Saterdag (25\u2009April) op die Elgin Vintage Cider-plaas in Grabouw. Wynand belowe dat iets geheims vir die eerste klante wag \u2013 “Dit gaan asemrowend wees.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Die sjef Ashley Wynand (36) se lang gekoesterde droom
