In Conversation with Bontle Baloyi aka Chef B

hef-B is a passionate chef driven by a love for diverse flavours, creative cooking, and the art of storytelling through food. My work spans recipe development, food styling, and dynamic content creation that celebrates both innovation and

authenticity in the kitchen.

In 2025 April , I took a bold step in my culinary journey by venturing fully into catering and launching my own company, Tastesbuds and Co. The name was inspired by the intimate curated three-course dinners and drink-pairing experiences I started off hosting as a way to attract the type of clients I would like to cater for —gatherings designed to give guests a complete, immersive culinary journey.
Whether I’m styling a dish, crafting a menu, or creating food content, my mission remains the same: to bring people together through memorable flavours and unforgettable experiences.
