Christmas in the life of a chef: Sarafina Edghill

Sarafina Edghill at work at the Marriott

Come Christmas Day, 24-year-old Sarafina Edghill will be found in the kitchen whipping up some of her fancy meals for her mom and brothers.

After all, as she puts it, her mother cooks often and Christmas is for her to relax and to be catered for. When you have a daughter who is a chef and one who also recently copped a coveted position at the Marriott Hotel, you can be sure the dishes will be more than fancy.

Edghill has taken over her mom’s kitchen during the festive season for more than three years and it is something she eagerly looks forward to at this time of the year.
