With a Little Help from Our Friends

One of the greatest gifts this industry has given us is friendship.

As Johanna and I started planning a celebration for our tenth wedding anniversary, we realised that many of our chef friends would be in KwaZulu-Natal at the same time.

What began as a simple party quickly evolved into something else entirely: a chance to bring together six of South Africa’s talented chefs for a celebratory evening in our home and kitchen.

On Friday 19 June 2026, we’ll be welcoming Kobus van der Merwe of Wolfgat, Vusi Ndlovu of EDGE, Wandile Mabaso of Les Créatifs, MasterChef’s Katlego Mlambo, and Rowan Larkin of Maha Point Waterfront to The LivingRoom for a collaborative six-course dinner inspired by the landscapes, flavours and produce of KwaZulu-Natal.

The day will begin with a visit to the market before we return to the restaurant to cook together, with each guest chef paired with a young member of our kitchen team.

Mentorship, collaboration and learning have always been central to what we do at The LivingRoom, and it feels fitting to share that spirit on a night built around friendship.

Each chef will bring their own perspective and style to the menu, creating a dinner that celebrates not only KwaZulu-Natal’s extraordinary pantry, but also the relationships that make our industry what it is.

We would love for you to join us. by @precious_kimchi

One of the best things about being a chef is just how deeply connected the entire existence is. Participating in others vision, sharing is always at the core for me. I find it amazing just how easily accessible and visible people become in a kitchen. Some true strength in the level of teamwork and commitment, carried out with respect, grace, and accountability.
