Meet Gabriela - Our Founder, Head Chef & All-Round GLOW Woman
Trained in fashion design but driven by a lifelong passion for food, creativity, and connection, Gabriela has spent the past 15 years building a career that seamlessly blends artistry with precision. Her journey has taken her from restaurant kitchens and private cheffing to event management, culinary consulting, and remote destination catering across the globe.
With an eye for detail and a flair for the unexpected, Gabriela brings together expressive creativity and skilled organisation - crafting menus that surprise and delight, and ensuring seamless execution that feels effortless from prep to plating. Every dish, every service, every experience reflects the GLOW promise: food that not only tastes remarkable, but feels beautifully considered.
When she’s not cooking or consulting in remote venues worldwide, Gabriela can be found at GLOW Creative Studios, where the finer details come to life - from custom uniforms and table linens to bespoke event fabrications.
She has built a close-knit team that shares her signature glow. A collective of talented chefs, service staff, and scullers who bring warmth, professionalism, and passion to every event. Together, they are the heartbeat behind Glow Kitchens.
what makes us shine
Place based produce
At Glow Kitchens, everything begins with the ingredient. Emphasising locally sourced produce and seasonal ingredients, we ensure that every dish exudes exceptional flavour and uncompromising quality. With sustainability at our core, we partner closely with local farms and small-scale suppliers to stay as close to the source as possible - supporting indigenous ingredients, reducing our logistical footprint, and celebrating the best of the Cape’s natural abundance. Every bite tells a story of place, passion, and purpose.
Creative, colourful food
Every Glow Kitchens table is a canvas, and every dish a carefully crafted masterpiece. Our Cape Town private catering menus are designed to spark conversation, delight the senses, and bring people together. We believe food is more than a meal - it’s an expression of creativity: vibrant, bold, and unforgettable. Each dish is created with care, artistry, and intention, ensuring your event is as memorable as it is delicious.
A love for creative hosting
When you step into a Glow Kitchens event, it feels like arriving at the home of a good friend - one where every detail has been thoughtfully considered. From concept to execution, we take each idea to its most creative edge, combining remarkable food and effortless execution in every setting. Our passion lies in curating memorable dining experiences in Cape Town and beyond, moments that linger long after the lights have dimmed - experiences that glow from the inside out.
"It’s always such a pleasure working with Gabi and Glow Kitchens. She’s incredibly organised, adaptable to any event or setting, and the food is consistently delicious and nutritious."
