It is an old saying and most preach it everyday, because its absolutely vital to love what you do. 

When you have to wake up with the dreadful notion of getting to work, then you might as well stay under the covers and call in sick.

I am blessed to be working for an amazing family in Johannesburg, as their chef. 

Most of the food that I post to my Instagram account (@foodbyjill) and to this blog are actually their meals! Breakfasts, lunches, dinners and maybe some snacks in between.

I am fortunate enough to be given the time during the day to experiment with countless things, and they are obviously the ones that benefit from this! 

They have been really supportive of me using their space to capture all the yummy amazing’ness for my blog, and I am ridiculously grateful for that! 

Thank you for always reminding me to take photos, for your patience when I take the plate away to actually capture the picture and for pushing me out of my comfort zone (all the cakes) ha!
