Chris van Wyk founder member of Amaqueta foods in catering has been involved in cooking from an early age on. For the past 32 years I have been working in the culinary industry locally and abroad. After completing my 4 years apprenticeship with Southern Suns with honors I ventured abroad to work in Germany for one year, and returned to the Fancourt Hotel in George where I stayed on for 6 years in a management capacity.
