It is always a pleasure having Zoe cooking here at Maison Noir and I know we can count on happy guests when she is in our kitchen! Zoe consistently produces exquisite meals for the discerning clientele we tend to have staying here at Maison Noir; whether they are looking for healthy family meals or a fine dining experience, I know I can count on Zoe to get it right every time.

Zoe was absolutely fantastic both as a chef and a person. Very professional and personal. She took care of us very well and treated us to the best food we had in South Africa.

Zoe is really magic. Her food is so fresh and healthy and she cooks everything to perfection. Also our kids, who are sometimes picky eaters, loved her food. In addition her cooking skills come with a great personality, I loved to have her around and highly highly recommend her.

I have had the pleasure of working with Zoe (Creative Cuisine) from 2016 to 2019. She has provided the bespoke catering for small to large scale events. With an eye for food styling, she always come to the party with delivering a menu which speaks perfectly to our concept. Her cuisine is always incredibly presented, experiential food – always within budget. Her ability to customize menus and tailor each event we had to the type of guest’s attending was unbelievable.

Zoe is also a pleasure to work with, she always arrives on time, conducts her business with minimal intrusion and professionalism. Zoe is also efficient providing us with quotes and sorting out the logistical details to make sure our events run smoothly. The food is always first class, our audiences always rave about our food at our events!

I am excited to work with her for years to come!

Zoe cooked for us in the villa we were renting for our holidays, as we were visiting family in Cape Town. My mother in law had just injured herself and we couldn’t go out to a restaurant as planned, so Zoe saved the day! At very short notice she prepared us the most wonderful Asian Fusion dinner, a collection of beautiful dishes, from seared tuna to grilled fish with sweet chilli jam and (my mother in law’s favourite) coriander tiger prawns. Zoe prepared us a huge variety of different dishes which all looked incredible (very colourful!) and tasted absolutely delicious. Cherry on top of the cake: she couldn’t have been more lovely. I would definitely recommend her as a chef!

We maintain a house in Constantia, Cape Town which we visit for 3 months during the Northern Hemisphere winter.

During this time we have employed Zoe to come to the house once every 3 days to prepare and serve a dinner, and at the same time to prepare a lunch for the following day.

We have found Zoe to be an exceptionally pleasant and agreeable person whose culinary skills are first class. We could not ask more of any person providing such services.

Zoe Busby/ Creative Cuisine continues to totally surpass my expectations.

Thank you for taking the time and care to curate our bespoke menus – from La Prairie Skin Caviar Launches, Premium Gin Pairings to French-inspired Cuisine – each event with you has been exceptional. It was also very helpful that you took such care to select the appropriate crockery and cutlery for the each function to enhance your gorgeous cuisine.

Your staff give us superb service and are professional in every respect. Most importantly, your food is always exquisite! Your flavour combinations and subtle touches are intricately interwoven to create some culinary masterpieces that will be long remembered. In particular, I’m still daydreaming of your Salmon and Caviar Macaroons!
