MY STORY

Hello everyone!

I am Craig, the proud creator of Frank's Preserves.

With a Bachelor of Science in Medicine, from the University of Cape Town, I have a solid foundation in human health and science.

However, my true passions go far beyond the medical world. I have always loved food and wine, which led me to earn an Advanced Food and Wine Diploma and I spent 13 years working as the Wine Specialist for Pick n Pay. My dedication to wine took me to study wine in Australia, where I further refined my palate and deepened my appreciation for fine wines.

My diverse background in medical and science studies, combined with my experience as a chef and a senior Wine specialist, has uniquely equipped me with a keen understanding of flavors, chemistry, and precision.

My scientific training has given me a solid foundation in understanding the chemical reactions involved in preserving and developing flavors, ensuring that my jams, chutneys, sauces, relishes, and condiments are both delicious and safely made.

As a chef, I’ve honed my skills in balancing flavors, textures, and aromas, while my expertise as a Wine specialist has deepened my appreciation for sense of smell and flavour.

Together, these experiences enable me to craft well-balanced, innovative, and high-quality homemade preserves and condiments that are both flavorful and thoughtfully created.

My real joy lies in creating jams, chutneys, sauces, relishes, pickles, and spices. I thrive on crafting bold, flavorful experiences that turn everyday dishes into extraordinary meals. I believe in using only the freshest, top-quality ingredients to ensure every product delivers maximum flavor and intensity.

I really enjoy experimenting with different flavor combinations and ingredients, to push the boundary for what's interesting or unusual, as well as trying out new recipes.

For me, making preserves is more than just a skill—it's a passion and a calling. I love elevating simple ingredients with turbocharged, next-level flavors that excite the palate and bring joy to those who taste them. For me, these culinary creations are more than just condiments; they are an expression of creativity, passion, and dedication.

Each jar I create is a reflection of my dedication to excellence, and my desire to bring BIG FLAVOR in every bite.

Perfectionism drives me in everything I do. I am committed to creating lip smacking preserves that satisfy even the most discerning palates. My focus on quality and flavor stems from a genuine love for crafting memorable tastes that add richness and depth to every meal.

Ultimately, my goal is for my products to bring happiness and a touch of culinary magic to every table, turning everyday moments into special celebrations.
