“We ask for time/space as we grapple to come to terms with our loss and appreciate all the support we have been given.”
Saskia is survived by her husband Petar Jercic, her three children, her sister Elli and their parents.
Saskia Beer’s meat produce and catering business, Saskia Beer Farm Produce, will continue to be run by her husband.
Mr Jercic shared a similar post to Maggie’s on his wife’s page.
“It is with broken hearts we need to let you all know that Saskia, our beautiful, extraordinary daughter, sister, wife and mother died unexpectedly yet peacefully in her sleep on Friday night,” he wrote. “The business Saskia grew and loved will continue on with me, her loving husband.”
The quality produce sourcing business was established in 1997, with Saskia “employing knowledge gained from her parents” and carrying on her family’s tradition.
Fellow chefs took to social media to send their condolences.
Guillaume Brahimi said: “So so sorry for your loss. Sending you all my love and support in this difficult time.”
Kylie Kwong wrote: “Your beautiful, special, darling Sassy-girl … I am just so, so sad for all of you, I loved Sassy so much and hold you all very, very closely in my heart XXX.”
