Celebrity Chef Jamie Oliver spotted in Cape Town

Legendary Celebrity Chef Jamie Oliver was recently spotted in Cape Town, at The Test Kitchen Fledgelings (TTK Fledgelings) restaurant.

The British restauranteur and cookbook author recently visited TTK Fledgelings. The restaurant, located in the heart of Woodstock, The Old Biscuit Mill, offers people who lack access to formal training in cooking and hospitality but possess unwavering enthusiasm and drive the chance to pursue a career in the hospitality industry. It is also considered the ideal spot for dining with friends and family for both casual and special occasions.

Jamie is known for his exquisite cuisines and recipes that he shares on his cooking shows, Jamie: What to Eat This Week, Jamie’s Quick and Easy Food, and well-written cookbooks like the recently published Simply Jamie. His love for cooking in the outdoors can be seen in the Instagram video:

“I’ve always properly loved cooking outside so working with @weberuk this summer has been such a joy!! All these behind-the-scenes bits just make me wanna get back out there and cook,” he shares in the caption of the below post:
