Suzy Latanza was born and bred in Cape Town, has a degree in languages from the University of Cape Town and a post-graduate diploma in tourism management from the Free University of Berlin. She is a qualified tour guide and speaks English, German and Italian fluently. Her passion for food developed very early in life as her mother owned an executive catering business for 40 years, in which Suzy was a key figure. Her marriage to an Italian took her to Europe where she worked as a chef in hotels in both Italy and Austria. After much hard work, Suzy and her husband transformed a rustic Italian house to a B&B offering Italian cookery courses. Now back in Cape Town Suzy loves sharing her years of experiences in the culinary world and showing the unique gourmet treasures of her city.
