Residence®

delighted to share our next @rootsofresidence will be happening: 2 — 8 November @kleinklooffarm ✫our next chef✫ Claudia Chan We met Chef Claudia at @ishinoko.kitchen in Takigahara in Japan last year where we fell for both her energetic spirit and her extensive expertise. Chef @claudiaacooks is a great example of a modern “donna universale”. Not only is she absolutely hilarious, she’s also an incredible illustrator, and on top of all of that, a doctor! A follow-up visit was required, so Claudia visited our last RESI Retreat in march, where she quickly took on roles we didn’t even know existed. Inspired by her presence, we knew she needed to be our next chef and we are pleased to report she accepted our proposal! Having extensive experience in various roles in the hospitality industry, Chef Claudia will guide you local South-African ingredients during your stay, transforming them in to dishes, drinks and memories.
