Renette started cooking when she was 11 and the first thing she ever attempted was duck l'orange. In later years, duck would become the dish she would be renowned for. Renette is a self taught cook and can do any of the classics one would expect from a chef school trainee. During the late 80's, after 2 attempts at having her "own" restaurant, she started inviting townsfolk into her home for restaurant evenings. She could of have been the first pop-up chef in the country! Renette was selected to be a contestant on KykNET's cooking show Kokkedoor and finished in Top 4 position.
