Duncan Welgemoed is a force to be reckoned with. Considered one of Australia's best (adopted) cooking talents, the South African-born chef has had a far-from-typical career trajectory.
His first "real, proper, getting-the-shit-kicked-out-of-me kind of job" as a chef was at French restaurant La Bouchee in South Kensington, London. From there, he did stints at Fat Duck and Restaurant Gordon Ramsay before moving down under. Today, Welgemoed is head chef and co-owner of Adelaide's renowned "ugly-delicious" Africola, plays a hand in the newly-established Drink Easy awards, and can often be found putting on a masterclass or feeding the masses at food festivals around the country.
