He is famous for dancing on stairs to podium at the Eat Out Awards to receive his umpteenth Top Ten award dressed in his signature cargo shorts and chef jacket. In Jardine, his eponymous first cook book, George talks about what it takes to be a chef at top of his game. First and foremost, he says, being a chef and a restaurateur is about building relationships. You need to build a rapport and a mutual understanding with your customers, so they know how to enjoy the best out of your kitchen. Then you need to find great suppliers and cement strong working relationships with them.

Whether it's mushrooms gathered in a local forest, guavas from the tree in the garden, or fish caught in our oceans, Jardine in Filled with recipes that explore the culinary bounty of Mzansi.
