HI, THIS IS ME
Denise is a dynamic visionary and successful entrepreneur with a diverse range of interests and talents which is reflected in the various businesses that she has pioneered. From being an international model, she opened Cape Town Productions, the first stills production company facilitating international photographic shoots. This led to establishing both indoor and outdoor photographic studio, Studio on Loop and The Outdoor Studio. She opened a chain of pizza delivery businesses simultaneously, Call-A-Pizza.
Ready for a new challenge, she embraced her love for food and cooking, and opened Ginger & Lime, offering interactive lessons and events.
Her cookbook, Around My Table, has just been launched and is a collection of her favourite recipes with anecdotes from her years of travel. Cooking in Como is the next work in progress.
