Nicky Fitzgerald has cooked in more different places than one can imagine. Campfire at Game Lodges from the Eastern Cape to the Ngorongoro Crater and Tiger camps in India. In the kitchens of the Arniston Hotel she cooked Cajun Blackened Fish with flapping fresh fish off the boats. From the Arniston Hotel there was a series of fabulous restaurants, all styled by her – Blues – still a success story after 20 years, Trumps in Claremont, Squares in the city centre and then the piece de resistance, The Bay Hotel. With her unstoppable husband Steve, they ran for a number of years the award winning lodges and camps of a company now known as AndBeyond.
