Charmaine Lilje is the chef-proprietor and all-round amazing person behind the tremendously popular Chardonnay Deli. With buzzing venues in Constantia and Kalk Bay, Charmaine is about to open a third shop on Constantia Uitsig. We chatted about drive and determination, inspiration and being at the right place at the right time.
