GLAMFOODIE

Charmaine Ramalope-Makhubela's is the face of GlamFoodie - an upscale food event planning company that caters for lovers of fine food and wine... Charmaine's culinary adventure began after quitting her job in IT. She had grown tired of the ordinary, day-to-day work cycle and wanted to pursue a career that excited her. Her true purpose in life was food and she decided to follow her heart and make a career out of cooking... Her leap of faith wasn't a half-baked idea. It just so happened that the foodie revolution was taking off and Charmaine saw this as the perfect opportunity to stake her claim in the culinary world. "I saw the rise of the foodie as a fascinating and disruptive movement that enabled anyone with a passion for food to make it in the industry. I didn't have a formal qualification from a culinary school, but I believed that, because I could take a classic recipe and give it my own twist, I could offer something completely different from other foodies," says Charmaine.
