I live in Cape Town. I wear many hats. I am passionate about artisan curing of exceptional meat products; an amateur food historian; a bacon processing consultant with 6 years production management experience in a large bacon plant, 10 years operations management experience and is available for contracts and consultancy work. I assist companies to integrate the reshaping of bacon logs through grid technology and transglutaminase.
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.

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
