Commencing our 2025 with stamina, we explore how Durban-born chef Chanel Brink embarked on her culinary journey. We must say our sit-down with her felt more like catching up with an old friend. Her warmth and passion for food radiated in every word she shared.From the moment we started chatting, it was clear that her journey from IT to the kitchen was one of perseverance and rediscovery. “Before I decided to pursue a career in the culinary world, my life was completely different,” she began, recounting her early days studying Information Technology and Systems Engineering. It was a path chosen out of necessity rather than passion, dictated by the need for financial stability.Like many others, Chanel initially followed a practical path over one fuelled by passion. Motivated by her family’s financial struggles, she studied IT. "My parents wanted me to study something that would ensure financial stability," she explained. “Growing up, there were times when providing for my sister and me was difficult, especially after my parents separated.” Despite her academic pursuits, Chanel admitted, "IT was never my passion. As a kid, I loved watching cooking shows like The Naked Chef and Nigella’s Kitchen. I always loved food and dreamed of one day being a chef and having my own cooking show."After moving to Johannesburg, Chanel landed a sales job - which she still holds while making her mark in the culinary industry. This job initially seemed to signal the end of her culinary dreams. However, the COVID-19 lockdown reignited her passion. With people confined to their homes and restaurants closed, Chanel began sharing simple, heartfelt recipes on Instagram under her handle, Cooking With Chanel_SA. "It started as a way to connect with others through food during a tough time," she recalled. Little did she know, this venture would mark the beginning of a new chapter in her life.Chanel's love for cooking is deeply rooted in her family history. "I come from a family of foodies," she said with a smile. Her father was a chef, her mother worked at a deli, and her grandparents once ran a fast-food restaurant. “As a child, I would watch my grandmother cook and see the joy her food brought to customers. It left a lasting impression on me.”<figure id="figure-bekur14f7m5dozr2z"><iframe id="bekur14f7m5dozr2z" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LH3Y2SK5Fxw" class="w-full bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" allowfullscreen="" data-url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LH3Y2SK5Fxw" data-corners="default" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LH3Y2SK5Fxw" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></iframe></figure>Her earliest culinary memories involve helping her mother bake. “She was like a magician, creating something magical out of simple ingredients,” Chanel reminisced. The pride she felt baking her first batch of muffins cemented her dream. "I knew I wanted to create dishes that evoke nostalgia and bring joy, just like my mother’s did."Transitioning into the culinary world wasn’t without its challenges. Chanel’s father, a chef himself, initially discouraged her from pursuing the profession. "He knew how tough the industry could be and worried it wasn’t the right fit for me as an introvert," she admitted. However, her biggest obstacle was her own self-doubt. "I told myself for years that the culinary world had no place for me."Her perspective shifted dramatically after participating in MasterChef South Africa, Season 5. "The show was both stressful and exhilarating," she recounted. Cooking under time constraints and working with unfamiliar ingredients pushed her far out of her comfort zone but also transformed her confidence. "I entered as an introverted home cook and left as someone who realized her full potential."A highlight of her MasterChef journey was cooking at Clara’s Barn, the restaurant of her culinary icon, Bertus Basson. "I’ve admired him for years," she said. "Cooking there showed me just how much I love being in a professional kitchen."<figure id="figure-freucslxbwm5dp3203"><img id="freucslxbwm5dp3203" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/32xVPofDY77kPl3bRBkPaHmQtxfhWFax12iaLMnOR7ElGMx8gTjQTG25KTbR1QTO.png" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="Image supplied." data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/32xVPofDY77kPl3bRBkPaHmQtxfhWFax12iaLMnOR7ElGMx8gTjQTG25KTbR1QTO.png" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"><figcaption class="body-normal text-gray-500 mt-2">Image supplied.</figcaption>Now as you continue your culinary journey, which brands would you love to collaborate with? Chanel expressed admiration for South Africa’s leading retailers. “Pick n Pay, Woolworths, Checkers - they’ve transformed the way South Africans shop,” she said. "I’d love to work with any of them as a brand ambassador."</figure>And before we wrap it up, if you could cook for President Cyril Ramaphosa, what dish would you prepare, and why? “I’ve heard his favourite food is fish with salad. If I were to cook for him, I’d make seared salmon with garlic lemon sauce, paired with a spring salad of peas, rocket, blanched broad beans, and zucchini dressed with lemon juice, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. It’s simple yet fresh, summery, and vibrant. I’d pair it with a glass of Chardonnay to balance the butteriness of the salmon.”When you’re not cooking, what helps you relax and recharge? “This will probably make you and the readers laugh - I come from the beach city of Durban, but I cannot swim! I’ve recently decided to learn and can now successfully float without sinking to the bottom, she laughed. Beyond that, I love visiting museums and galleries and enjoying tea afterward. I’m an old soul at heart, so even on the hottest days, you’ll find me at a tea house sipping tea with friends.”Tell us about your plans for 2025? “I’m launching Brink’s Bakery in February, an online bakery offering unique, limited-time treats. I want to challenge taste buds and create something new every month,” she revealed. “I also plan to travel and take a much-needed break. 2024 has been a busy year - working full-time, being on MasterChef, and completing my diploma in HR has been draining. In 2025, I want to take some time off at the end of the year after achieving my professional goals.”Lastly, what legacy do you hope to leave in the culinary world, and what advice would you give aspiring chefs? “I hope to change the world’s perspective on South African food. Fine dining often defaults to European cuisines like French or Italian, but I dream of seeing South African fine dining represented globally. Through social media, I want to showcase the diversity and richness of South African cuisine and inspire excitement for it, much like how Asian dishes have gained international popularity.To aspiring chefs, my advice is to know why you want to be a chef. The industry is tough, and if you don’t have a clear motivation, it’s easy to give up. Understand your purpose and love for food - it will keep you focused and resilient.”For more, follow: <a data-mce-href="https://www.instagram.com/cookingwithchanel_sa/" href="https://www.instagram.com/cookingwithchanel_sa/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cooking With Chanel_SA</a>

Brink’s Bakery to launch online in February 2025 with unique, limited-time treats.

As the editor of our esteemed publication, I had the privilege of attending the Unique Speaker Bureau International event at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Nelson Mandela Bay, where <a data-mce-href="https://www.mikehandcock.net/" href="https://www.mikehandcock.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Handcock</a> and his wife, <a data-mce-href="https://www.circleofexcellence.biz/about-us" href="https://www.circleofexcellence.biz/about-us" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Landi Jac</a>, were the keynote speakers. The event was nothing short of inspiring, leaving a lasting impression on everyone in attendance. During the event, I had the opportunity to engage with Mike Handcock, who shared invaluable insights into their journey and the impact of their work.Mike explained the inspiration behind the Circle of Excellence Group, saying, "We were inspired to start Circle of Excellence Group because we really saw that leaders had so much more potential than what they really believed in themselves. That's what led us to have our mantra: “we help conscious leaders play a bigger game." This sentiment is at the heart of their mission, aiming to empower conscious leaders who want to make an impact, not just money.Their approach to the speaking industry is truly global, having run over 350 events, referred to as masterminds, where they listen to leaders’ problems and provide on-the-spot solutions. "What this has done is enabled us to understand what's going on and what the problems are that leaders are having around the world," Mike noted. Their extensive reach includes events in Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore, South Africa, France, and Germany, making them a formidable global presence.Mike's upcoming role as President of the Global Speakers Federation will put him at the helm of 35 countries, representing 55,000 speakers. This position allows him to influence thought leadership on a global scale. "It gives me the opportunity to influence the way thought leadership is happening on the planet in the next 12 to 18 months," he said.During our conversation, Mike highlighted the diverse businesses they have built. Landi has established a sizable consultancy firm and has helped others run it, while Mike has owns multiple businesses, including a construction company, a travel company, and a publishing company. "The best message here is that just because you have a business today and you can get it to a certain level, it doesn't mean that you're the person to take it to the level beyond that," he advised. Their approach is to empower others to take their businesses to new heights.<figure id="figure-njv6enzgxm5do64z0"><iframe id="njv6enzgxm5do64z0" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nqLMOH040C8" class="w-full bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" allowfullscreen="" data-url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqLMOH040C8" data-corners="default" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nqLMOH040C8" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></iframe></figure>Reflecting on their experiences in Nelson Mandela Bay, Mike shared, "We've always had a great experience in Nelson Mandela Bay. The people are really supremely friendly, open-minded, and they really want to make a difference." This sentiment encapsulates the essence of Nelson Mandela Bay's entrepreneurial spirit, which is both down-to-earth and ambitious.Their visit this time was facilitated by Wendy Knott Craig, a local businesswoman in the business and events industry. The duo is keen on collaborations that can impact businesses of all sizes in Nelson Mandela Bay. "We're looking to impact businesses small, medium, and large with the type of globalism and experience that we bring," Mike explained. Their global perspective, shaped by their experiences in places like Saudi Arabia, the US, Europe, and Canada, brings fresh insights to the local business landscape.One of the standout aspects of their work is their customized approach to solving business problems. Mike mentioned their extensive content, which has been compiled into a 500-page book full of business models. "When we work with any client, we find out what problems they're dealing with and then we go to our buffet table," he said. This metaphorical buffet table includes various business models tailored to the client's needs, ensuring a unique solution for every situation.Their target markets are twofold: corporates looking to adopt entrepreneurial thinking within their businesses and growth-stage entrepreneurs ready to scale their operations. "We've had amazing successes helping people grow businesses, taking companies to be listed on stock exchanges from ideas, winning international awards, and transforming leadership teams," Mike proudly shared.To stay relevant and innovative, Mike emphasized the importance of travel and exposure. "In any given year, we meet thousands of people, which keeps us very up to date," he said. Their extensive network and constant interactions with diverse individuals provide them with fresh perspectives and ideas.For aspiring entrepreneurs, Mike's advice is to discover their essence and build a business around it. "Find out what's in your heart and decide how you're going to express it. Let what you do be an extension of who you are," he advised. This approach ensures that their work resonates with a wide audience and remains true to their values.As an attendee of the Unique Speaker Bureau International event, I can confidently say that the power of global collaboration and innovative thinking is essential for entrepreneurs looking to expand their networks and attract new clients. Mike Handcock and Landi Jac's contributions to the speaking industry, along with their dedication to empowering leaders, are truly inspiring. Their insights and experiences offer valuable lessons for entrepreneurs and business leaders alike, demonstrating that with the right mindset and approach, the potential for growth and impact is truly limitless.For more, visit: <a data-mce-href="https://www.circleofexcellence.biz/" href="https://www.circleofexcellence.biz/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Circle Of Excellence Group</a>
