Michelle Phetlhe, one of Botswana’s leading experiential events specialists and a cook who believes that everyone has untapped potential in the kitchen, recently hosted a small, intimate session.
The gathering was intended to express gratitude to friends and family who have been a part of her journey at large.
The event, held at Cresta Lodge Terrace Cafe, brought together friends and family for an evening of connection and inspiration. Attendees honoured the dress code and all came in terracotta-inspired outfits, a blend of colours that speaks warmth, connection to nature and grounded stability. The evening was more than a social gathering; it was a celebration of love, support and shared dreams. Michelle, who has built a name in both events and culinary spaces, prepared the evening herself. “I brought you here to express my sincere gratitude to you, all friends and family, especially my supportive husband, for you have been with me since day one and have stood by my side to this date,’’ she said. The gathering was not just about food; it was about celebrating Michelle’s achievements and the beauty of bringing people together.
Attendees were wowed upon the realisation of the main reason for the intimate session, which revealed Michelle being featured in a South African lifestyle magazine called BONA, an experience she described as a big achievement. “I am so honoured to share with you that I have been featured in BONA magazine, a big achievement for me worth celebrating. I am so happy, please do get the copy and read it,” she highlighted. The setting was intimate, with fresh blooms that gave a refreshing sense to one’s mind, and attendees enjoyed great food. Beyond the food, the evening was filled with laughter and conversations, which, with the decor, offered a refreshing escape from the rush of daily life.
