I live in Cape Town where I manage production at a bacon factory in Cape Town. I love food technology and discovering why things work the way they work. I write about what fascinates me.
We learn from people around us. Sometimes I have the privilege to interview food-people. I share their stories here.
I have two children, Tristan and Lauren.
During my annual vacation I love visiting producers around the world to share and learn. Anyone interested in collaboration on a range of fascinating projects can contact me on ebenvt@gmail.com.

Dear Eben
I found your website when looking for material on E V Rieu. I’ve just forwarded a biographical note on him to some friends (including a link to your blog about Rieu) and would like to forward to you if you can send me an email address.
I look forward to exploring your website.
Best wishes
Iain
