\u201cAs ek vir mense kosmaak, moenie net die maag vol wees nie, maar ook die hart!\u201d s\u00ea die wennerkinkelkok van kykNET se kookkompetisiereeks\u00a0Kokkedoor: Vuur en Vlam<\/em><\/span>, Gert Joubert (31). Sy spanmaat was Karen Els van Malmesbury. <\/p>\n

Sy liefde vir kosmaak het al kleintyd in sy ma se kombuis onstaan waar hulle op \u2018n plaas gebly het. \u201cMy hele familie is eintlik lief daarvoor om kos te maak.\u201d<\/p>\n

Opleiding<\/strong><\/p>\n

Di\u00e9 kokkedoor klong met die positiewe uitkyk,het aan die Ho\u00ebrskool Nico Malan op Humansdorp gematrikuleer. \u201cDit is \u2019n wonderlike skool. Vir my was dit so aangenaam daar \u2013 ek kon nie wag om skooltoe te gaan nie. Die onderwysers was altyd aanmoedigend,\u201d s\u00ea hy dankbaar. Na skool het hy hom gekwalifiseer aan die Culinary Academy se Hertz kampus. \u201cRebecca Hertz is regtig baie streng, maar ek besef dit was tot my voordeel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gert het daarna ondervinding opgedoen tydens sy internskap in Franschhoek, by die Links in St Francisbaai, die Rosebarn, verskeie hotelle van Gqeberha hotelgroep soos die Beach Hotel, The Sands en die Ginger restaurant. \u201cEk het toe besef dat my sterkpunt en liefde eintlik huiskos is \u2013 soos my ma se styl. Ek het ook regtig baie by die Infood Restaurant op Jeffreysbaai geleer. Dit was nou goeie ervaring oor die hele spektrum!\u201d<\/p>\n

Ontmoet vrou in die kombuis<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dit was toe Gert by die Africanos restaurant in Addo werk, dat hy sy mooi vrou Bianca ontmoet het waar sy die kombuisbestuurder was. \u201cOns het in 2018 getrou, en kort daarna ons droom verwesenlik en \u2019n restaurant in Gqeberha geopen. Covid het ons \u2019n harde slag toegedien. Mens verloor alles oornag.\u201d <\/p>\n

Maar die kokkedoor het nie stilgesit nie, en het begin huise verkoop, met groot sukses. Hy het sommer gou aanbiedings gekry en werk nou as konsultant vir verskeie restaurante waar hy bv. help met begrotings en spyskaarte. \u201cOm jou eie baas te wees is kwaai, harde ure en die stres is meer, maar die voordele is goed. Ek geniet dit ook om funksies te doen.\u201d Die paartjie se tweejarige seuntjie, Deandr\u00e9, het hulle rede gegee om deur te druk. <\/p>\n

Kokkedoor<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gert se vrou het hom ingeskryf vir die kookprogram. \u201cDit was onwerklik vir my toe ek gekies is. Ek was net bekommerd oor die vyf weke wat ek van die huis en werk af moes wees. Ek het soveel gegroei as mens. Ek het ook na die terugslag met die restaurant, weer my selfvertroue as sjef en as man teruggekry. My seuntjie sal eendag sien dat mens net moet opstaan as jy geval het.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hy het die meeste gehou van die opdrag om Koreaanse varkdisse te maak. \u201cEk hou baie van Oosterse geure. Di\u00e9 dag het ek net my hart uit kosgemaak, en baie vreugde gehad! Ons was so bly om die uitdaging te gewen het. Dis belangrik vir my om nie net die maag vol te maak nie, maar ook die hart.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dis noodsaaklik om die regte gereedskap te h\u00ea wanneer hy elders moet optree. Hy maak seker die belangrikste ding, die mes, is skerp genoeg.<\/div>\n

Toekomsplanne<\/strong><\/p>\n

Die beste kokkedoor wil sy wengeld gebruik om die restaurantskuld te delg, en daarvan vir sy seuntjie te bel\u00ea. Binne \u2019n paar maande wil die gesin hulle knus huis op Astonbaai verruil vir die wynlande. \u201cEk wil graag as ambassadeur werk by bv. \u2019n wynplaas. Planne is al in \u2019n gevordere stadium.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gunstelinge<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMy ma se vetkoek en mince<\/em><\/span> is die heel lekkerste iets op aarde, om saam met familie te eet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hy geniet dit meeste om huiskos te maak soos Coq au vin<\/em> <\/span>(hoender in wyn gaargemaak) en boeuf bourguignon<\/em><\/span> (beesvleis in rooiwyn). \u201cDis eintlik armmanskos wat gedeel moet word. Hulle kook eenvoudig en geld het nie \u2019n invloed op hulle nie. <\/p>\n

Wenke uit die kombuis<\/p>\n

Gert s\u00ea \u2019n mens kan heerlike kos maak sonder \u2019n vuur, met die as wat uitgebrand het, bv. aspatat an askoek. \u201cDis smullekker met suurroom en appelkooskonfyt.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hy s\u00ea as jy nie self van \u2019n sekere kossoort hou nie, moet dit dan nie bedien nie. En dan die belangrikste: \u201c99% van jou probleme gaan oor \u2019n jaar geen invloed op jou lewe h\u00ea nie!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
