David Higgs

From humble beginnings cooking breakfast in a small hotel to one of South Africa’s most awarded and best-known chefs, David Higgs is known for his love of food, art, wine and a good braai. He is also one of the founding partners of 'The Marble Group' which owns Marble, Saint, Zioux and The Pantry. With an almost 30-year cooking career, David is passionate about local cooking, especially when it is on an open flame. His early inspiration came from his family’s kitchen – Sunday roasts and homemade koeksisters. Almost three decades later David has built a cooking empire, he proudly runs his cooking school ‘The Higgs School of Cooking’, as well as his catering company ‘Extreem Kwizeen’ and is the author of the cookbook Mile 8 - A Book About Cooking.
