Anja Dippenaar - île de païn Restaurant
“A few words from student Anja Dippenaar, Class of 2020, who is presently at île de païn Restaurant, about her time on course at Jackie Cameron School Of Food & Wine”
“Excellence is the goal for Chef Jackie and this flows through to the students who she takes under her wing. We strive for excellence in everything we do in the industry, no matter how big or small the task. This chef course has shown me the importance of persevering and working hard in all things – in your work life and even your personal life.
The course allows you to see the value of learning to work under different circumstances and how to adapt to these environments as well as setting a precedent for improvement. There is always something you could be doing faster and/or better. There is always an opportunity for learning each day and we were able to see the value of this as we progressed in the course, at our placement and now, in our daily lives.
This chef course has meant the world to me. The ‘book knowledge’ that is paired with physically doing it, sets this course apart from the rest.” - Anja Dippenaar / île de païn Restaurant
"Thanking you Anja, every day that you are in the industry you look as though you are shining brighter (just amazing!!), well done for your perseverance and focusing on exactly what you love." - Chef Jackie Cameron
