The Aleit Academy
As part of the Stir Kitchen we have some young, energetic students on board who are here to gain invaluable experience as part of their qualification at The Aleit Academy. They cover all aspects of the hospitality industry, including Event Management & Planning, Hospitality Management and Professional Culinary training.
The Aleit Academy is in association with The Institute of Culinary Arts (ICA), South Africa’s leading training school for world-class chefs which is internationally recognised for producing industry-ready professionals of the highest calibre. Stir Food’s Head Chef Gustaaf Boshoff, is always eager to work with these young minds during the completion of their practical hours, as they share in his educational values and learn how to chop, dice and slice!
“Besides the long hours, heat waves and hectic cleaning sessions, we learned how to do the job properly the first time round, team work and to have a tidy station at all times! Cooking on big scale is not a joke, but yet fun!”
– Liebre Eigelaar
“I absolutely loved working with Stir Food! I learnt so much and ate so much. Having been to a few higher rated restaurants, I find myself thinking that Stir Food can do it better.”
– Kirsty Hartmann
“Whilst preparing mouth-watering canapé’s and sensational gourmet food, I realised what an immense role the culinary world plays in the event and wedding industry. It was an experience I would truly not forget!”
– Lindi van Heerden
“Having spent two months in the kitchen working with the highly qualified chefs from Stir Food, new recipes were absorbed, fingers were cut and hands got burnt, but that’s all part of the experience I guess of working as an assistant chef. I can say that the amazing Stir chefs taught me a lot and that I did walk away with having learnt new recipes and great food techniques.”
- Meagan Bridger
“The culinary industry is a magnificent world of tasty and innovative creations that by simply just thinking of it, the idea melts in your mouth and leaves a sense of satisfaction thereafter. The team at Stir Food has perfected this by means of serving each client with trendy canapé’s, individually designed menus and an amazing performance rate at each affair. It seems though as if nothing would stop this team of chefs to bringing only the best to the plate!“
