About Us

Chefs Warehouse & Cookery School is located in the heart of Cape Town. It offers a combination of retail and culinary education: The Warehouse retails quality equipment, unique food products and cookbooks to both trade and public while the School is a natural extension of chef Liam Tomlin’s passion for fine cuisine. Chefs Warehouse carries a wide range of quality products sourced locally and abroad, including kitchen equipment, appliances, books for cooks, crockery, cutlery and glassware, knives and utensils, chefs-wear, bar tools, lifestyle furniture and essential ingredients.
About Liam Tomlin
Liam and his wife, Jan, moved to Cape Town, South Africa, in 2004 where he established his consultancy company, Beyond Food. The business has a growing reputation with both local and international clients within a variety of industries ranging from individual restaurants, food companies and retailers to luxury game lodges, leading urban hotels, international airlines and wine farms.
Liam’s latest venture is a collaboration with Leopard’s Leap wine estate where a 24 station hands-on cookery school and retail shop will open its doors at the end of the year. Liam Tomlin Culinary Studio will host a variety of international and local guest chefs and Liam himself will do a selection of different cookery courses for anyone to attend.
