Having spent more than 30 years in the kitchen in what was a predominantly male-dominated industry, we had a lot to learn from her.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Because the course was very practical, Kayla-Ann says that by the time she left the school she was able to comfortably run an entire section in a kitchen on her own. Her first job was at The Selborne Hotel on the South Coast, where she ended up being the most senior person in the kitchen. \u201cWe made all the food for the hotel, the catering and conferencing. It was crazy, but probably the best thing that could\u2019ve happened to me,\u201d she says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1178 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/04\/9852Chris-Allan-Photography--1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/04\/9852Chris-Allan-Photography--1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/04\/9852Chris-Allan-Photography--400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/04\/9852Chris-Allan-Photography--768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/04\/9852Chris-Allan-Photography--696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/04\/9852Chris-Allan-Photography--1068x713.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/04\/9852Chris-Allan-Photography--629x420.jpg 629w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/04\/9852Chris-Allan-Photography--1920x1281.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But Kayla-Ann\u2019s true passion was fine dining cuisine and, after a year, she moved to Pietermaritzburg where she became head chef at the well-known Traffords restaurant. When the restaurant closed Kayla-Ann was referred by a friend to restauranteurs Sean Gray and Soti Sonitis (who also own Circus Circus) to interview for the head chef position at their soon-to-open restaurant, The Chef\u2019s Table. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThe interview last three hours and they really drilled me. It was clear that this was not a normal executive chef position and because it was to be a \u2018chef-run\u2019 restaurant, it was also a management role. Not to mention the fact that it would be an open kitchen with a menu that changed daily!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1177 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/04\/9823Chris-Allan-Photography--1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/04\/9823Chris-Allan-Photography--1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/04\/9823Chris-Allan-Photography--400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/04\/9823Chris-Allan-Photography--768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/04\/9823Chris-Allan-Photography--696x465.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/04\/9823Chris-Allan-Photography--1068x713.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/04\/9823Chris-Allan-Photography--629x420.jpg 629w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/04\/9823Chris-Allan-Photography--1920x1281.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But, after cooking for the owners, Kayla-Ann got the job. \u201cTo be honest I had no idea what I was doing! But they hired me and I was given the amazing opportunity of being able to set up an entire restaurant and kitchen from scratch. Not many chefs get to do that in their careers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Her goal, Kayla says, was always for The Chef\u2019s Table to be named one of the top 20 restaurants in the country. \u201cIt\u2019s amazing really. Most of the other restaurants on the list are 30 to 40 seaters, but we are a 120-seater and our entire team is very young &#8211; we are all under the age of 30.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Chef\u2019s Table remains one of the most popular dining destinations in KZN and, apart from the great vibe and exciting open plan kitchen, it\u2019s the food that ultimately keeps people coming back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1180 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/04\/9668Chris-Allan-Photography--1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/04\/9668Chris-Allan-Photography--1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/04\/9668Chris-Allan-Photography--400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/04\/9668Chris-Allan-Photography--768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/04\/9668Chris-Allan-Photography--696x465.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/04\/9668Chris-Allan-Photography--1068x713.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/04\/9668Chris-Allan-Photography--629x420.jpg 629w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/04\/9668Chris-Allan-Photography--1920x1281.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cOur food is most definitely produce-inspired.

Throughout my travels though, I\u2019ve always found the most impressive and memorable experiences are ones with chefs<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>who are full of humility.
