As she celebrates ten years at Steenberg, her influence extends far beyond the estate\u2019s restaurants, it reaches into the fields of local farmers, the boats of small-scale fishers, and the kitchens of young chefs she has mentored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kilpin\u2019s journey at Steenberg began in November 2014 when she was appointed Executive Chef of Bistro Sixteen82. From the outset, she has been committed to using locally sourced ingredients and embracing sustainable culinary practices. \u201cBeing from a rural background myself, I\u2019ve always believed in the power of fresh, local ingredients,\u201d says Kilpin. \u201cIt\u2019s essential for me to work with local suppliers and to support the farmers, fishers and artisans in our area.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of her most significant contributions has been her involvement in the Abalobi initiative, a programme that connects chefs with small-scale fishers from the Western Cape to ensure a sustainable seafood supply chain. \u201cSupporting our local fishers was an obvious choice,\u201d Kilpin explains. \u201cThese are the people who have been doing this work for generations, and they deserve to be recognized for the quality of their catch. We\u2019re proud to highlight their efforts in every dish we serve.\u201d Beyond seafood, Kilpin has built strong relationships with local farmers, ensuring that Steenberg\u2019s kitchen is always stocked with fresh, seasonal produce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe connections we\u2019ve made with local growers have been instrumental in the way we approach food,\u201d she says. \u201cWe work closely with them to ensure that what\u2019s on our plates reflects the season and the flavours of our region.\u201d But Kilpin\u2019s impact extends beyond the ingredients she sources. She has played a vital role in mentoring and shaping the careers of young chefs, many of whom have gone on to lead their own kitchens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Blockquote\" data-pos=\"Middle\" id=\"embed_29490b4b\">\n<div class=\"text\">I\u2019ve always believed in the power of mentorship,\u201d she shares. \u201cIt\u2019s incredibly rewarding to see young chefs grow, take on new challenges, and make their mark in the industry. I\u2019m proud to have been part of their journey.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As Steenberg continues to evolve, Kilpin remains deeply committed to engaging with the local community. One of her most exciting upcoming projects is the launch of Steenberg\u2019s first food truck this year, which will bring the estate\u2019s flavours to a broader audience. \u201cThe food truck is going to be a great way for us to interact with more people, especially those who might not be able to visit the estate regularly,\u201d she says. \u201cWe\u2019ll be able to take the flavours of Steenberg out into the community and share what we do with a wider audience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, she is eager to explore new ways to connect with the community through Steenberg\u2019s new Bedouin tent, which will host a variety of events, including culinary workshops and community dinners. \u201cThis is a space that has so much potential,\u201d Kilpin says. \u201cWe want to use it to bring people together, to celebrate food, and to create experiences that foster connections.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kilpin\u2019s dedication to sustainability and community engagement has helped elevate the culinary scene in Tokai and beyond. \u201cIt\u2019s about creating a food culture that values quality, supports local businesses, and nurtures the talent in our community,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019m proud of the impact we\u2019ve had, and I\u2019m excited for what\u2019s to come.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the past decade, Chef Kerry Kilpin has not only redefined high-end dining at Steenberg Farm in Tokai but has also profoundly impacted the local food community.
