The untold story behind one of South Africa's most loved online businesses.

For sixteen years, Andrew Smith co-founded and helped build Yuppiechef from a suburban lounge into one of South Africa's most recognised retail brands.

Along the way, he kept a daily handwritten journal.

Handwritten tells both stories: the public story of building a company, and the private story of self-doubt, anxiety, ambition, failure, growth, friendship, and resilience.

Publicly, Andrew smiled for the cameras and spoke about growth. Privately, he wrestled with the fear of failure.

Now, for the first time, those two stories are told side by side.
