Meet the duo

Chef Peter Ayub is as skilled as he is tattooed …

Peter has worked in the hotel, restaurant and hospitality industry for his entire career. Together with Debbie Ayub and sous chef, Byron Thebus they run the fabulous Urban Playground restaurant in Maitland, Cape Town (think again, if you want to be judgmental when hearing Maitland – they serve the best street-style food). They are also the owners and principals of the Sense of Taste Cooking school. This trio has produced some of the finest graduates in the food industry, sharing their exceptional passion and drive with each student. Peter has also written a very successful cookbook.

Peter and Debs have travelled extensively – literally around the world! He is a regular face on television and radio and their involvement and acts of ‘giving back’ in the community is not something they boast about, but their impact is felt on many levels, making a difference and feeding those in need. Something few other South Africans can add to their list of accomplishments, is cooking for the likes of former president Nelson Mandela, Dr Mamphela Ramphele, Beyoncé, the Kardashians (we kid you not) and Jamie Foxx to name a few superstars.

Heleen Meyer is an independent food consultant, recipe developer and food stylist and award-winning cookbook author from Cape Town. She has a passion to encourage and teach others the joys of nutritious food. Her aim is to inspire you and make you feel like a chef in your own kitchen, while showing you that healthy eating is not expensive, bland or boring.

Heleen started her career as assistant to the Food Editor at Sarie Tydskrif. Then she became the Food Specialist at AMC Cookware and was part of their head office team for 10 years. For the past 18 years she has been running her own business as an independent Food Consultant, working for South African and global companies and brands like Pink Lady® Apples, Cecilia’s Farm and The Pomegranate Association of South Africa. You will often see her on television and hear her voice on radio. After over 30 years in the food industry, she still loves to share her passion to develop trustworthy recipes that look as good as they make you feel!

Let’s cook up a storm and take your taste buds on an aromatic trip!
