Julie Blevin, a Grade 6 pupil at Umhlali Prep. Was the winner of the Ballito leg of the popular Hirsch and Defy Junior Super Chef competition that was held in the Hirsch Ballito Showroom on May 12. Julie won a Defy hamper and hand blender, and will go on to compete in the Regional Finals of the competition that is being held at the East Coast Radio House and Garden Show on July 3. Ten contestants, ranging in age from 8 to 13, battled it out in the competition. They had to show off their cooking skills, using a mystery bag of products and cooking on a Snappy Chef induction plate and Defy Microwave Air oven to impress judges: award winning chef and owner of Harvey’s Restaurant, Andrew Draper,, Kerry Eb well known for her baking skills and owner of Lemon Canary, Kevyn Bys Owner of Cake man Durban and Chef of the Year , and David Hoehler food critic from the North Coast Courier. The competition was co-ordinated by the Hirsch team and Fine Young Cooks owner, Lewaine Von Alleman – who was extremely proud of Julie as she is one of her past pupils. Speaking on behalf of the judges, Andrew Draper said that he was extremely impressed by the high standard of preparation and cooking “Their adaptability was incredible. These kids are 100 steps ahead of us and a lot more sophisticated in their taste and cooking skills than we were at the same age. We were especially impressed with the sauces – containing just the right amount of spices and flavouring. The contestants have really done themselves proud!” Draper exclaimed. Kim Blevin, Julie’s mother thanked Hirsch’s for “giving our children this wonderful opportunity to grow in confidence. Thank you too for all the effort that went into making this competition possible; there was a lot of preparation involved and well done, it worked like clockwork!” Second place went to 13 year old Kaitlyn Damant from Ashton school and coming third was Benjamin Pilz - also an Umhlali pupil.

JUNIOR SUPER CHEF FINALS Danika van der Walt (13), a pupil at Hoerskool Florida was announced the winner of the JHB Hirsch’s and Defy Junior Super Chef competition that took place in Fourways recently. Six finalists claimed their spot in the finals through various exciting stages of cook-off through the month of June at all Hirsch Branches around the country – Gauteng branches include Boksburg, Meadowdale, Centurion, Silverlakes, Strubens Valley and Fourways. Ranging from age 8 to 13 and from all over JHB, the enthusiastic finalists had to battle it out on the showroom floor. They had to show off their cooking skills, using a mystery bag of products and cooking on a Snappy Chef induction plate and Defy Microwave Air oven to impress judges. Van der Walt’s dish, a Beef Wellington with asparagus and blue cheese sauce was the judge’s favourite of the evening. “I’m so proud of her! She is a brilliant cook and her food always tastes so great! She was so fortunate to be in this position regardless of whether she won or not” Said Johan van der Walt, Danika’s very proud father. Danika started cooking and preparing meals for her family when she was six and her grandmother, Ina Willemse, has been her inspiration. “I love both cooking and baking. I have my own small business named “The Cake Fairy” and love to bake and decorate novelty cakes.” Said Van der Walt. Christine Phillips, a Judge on the evening, well known for her recent cook-book (The timeless family food Journal), qualified chef and founder of the “little cooks club” was involved in the JHB Junior Super Chef from the very beginning. “The highlight of this whole competition was watching how the contestants confidently plan their menus and final dish. It was an unforgettable experience working with these and the Hirsch’s team.” She said. Hirsch’s CEO, Mr Allan Hirsch was also a Judge at the finals. “We wanted to assist with the encouragement of young chefs and have been blown away with their ability to demonstrate the use of recently launched products in front of an audience.” He said. Second place went to 10 year Emily Gimaraens of St Peters Girls School (Fourways) and third place was awarded to 11 year old Dean Barnard of Laerskool Kruinsig (Kempton Park).

The owner of Fine Young Cooks, Lewaine Von Allemann was announced the October winner of the Margaret Hirsch Business Woman of the Month award at a business women’s networking meeting that took place on Friday at Hirsch Ballito.   Lewaine, who has always had a passion for cooking, runs her cookery school for children around the North Coast and has also started up classes for adults.  She has become very much part of the Fine Living Bru cooking competition that is held during the Mr. Price PRO International surfing week that is held every year in Ballito.   Margaret gave an inspiring talk about how important it is to stay true to oneself in business, and to never give up on one’s dreams.  “Everyone should have a vision board.  It works. Believe it and it will happen!” she told the gathering of local business women.    Margaret started the Margaret Hirsch Business Woman of the Month (leading up to the Business Woman of the Year)  competition in all of the areas in which Hirsch’s operates (11 throughout South Africa) because she could see how she – and Hirsch’s – had  benefited from the business accolades she has received over the years. “Winning business orientated awards has been wonderful – both for Hirsch’s and for me personally, and I would like to see this happening to other women in business. As women, we tend not to be assertive enough.  There are so many fantastic women out there who are not coming forward to be acknowledged for their contribution to the business world, and I would like to encourage them to come forward and enter the competition.”  She explained.  The next winner of the competition will be announced at a function organised by the Ilembe Chamber Steering committee in November
