Reuben Riffel

In his 30-year cheffing career, Reuben Riffel has cooked for Leonardo DiCaprio and Denzel Washington, taught Martha Stewart to make pickled fish, and worked alongside chef Nobu Matsuhisa. He’s judged MasterChef South Africa, hosted two TV series, and runs four restaurants in Franschhoek, where he grew up and still lives with his family (and two dogs). His latest book, Braai, celebrates South Africa’s iconic cooking tradition with bold, flavour-packed recipes inspired by his culinary journey.
