ABOUT ME

I am a qualified South African chef and caterer who has recently moved to Provence, based in beautiful Cotignac. I have 16 years kitchen experience, having been head chef to gastro pubs in United Kingdom to consulting restaurants in Cape Town and private cooking in the Côte d'Azur.  I studied at the Culinary Academy in the beautiful winelands of Cape Town. 

​

Food is something to be savoured, made with love and enjoyed.

ABOUT MY FOOD

I have a market to table approach to cooking, taking advantage of all the seasonal and fresh foods that Provence has to offer. My style of food is unfussy, full of personality and I take inspiration from the local produce and ingredients themselves, making  my food as nutritious and delicious as possible. I try to be as eco conscious as possible by not wasting food and recycling as much of the packaging as possible. I can customise my food to any taste or dietary requirements.

"Paula Sachs has been catering for my family and friends over the years at our family house in Provence. Her catering has always been excellent, fresh, exciting, and seasonal. She provided a variety of dishes both local and international. Not only is she an excellent chef, but she has also become part of the family and we love having her around every year. I highly recommend her services."
