Have The Last Word

Cape Town has been quite chilly and wet this past week which can make one rather reluctant to venture outdoors…  But this weekend is the Good Food and Wine Show at the ICC in town and it promises to be a spectacular year.

Gordon Ramsey will be strutting his stuff along with other big names in the food world, some of which include the chocolate wizard Willie Harcourt-Cooze, Reza Mahammad  and master patisserie Eric Lanlard.  There are 9 state of the art kitchen theatres where the international celebrity chefs will dazzle audiences with their culinary skills and battle it out with local chefs to see who is the most creative.

Spectacular gastronomic delights will be prepared throughout the weekend for people to come taste and even learn how to prepare.  Beer & food paring will be available for the discerning man out there who believes that the only compliment to this staple South African brew is the Boereworse roll.   A slow food market will showcase products and produce which have been grown, picked and in some cases produced by the owners themselves.  A  brandy theatre and wine sales area will also be available at the expo as well as a childcare facility if you would prefer to poke around the exhibits without having to share whatever is on offer.

There will also be an area outside, dedicated to the fine art of cooking outdoors which will help those still trying to master the art of the perfect braai to see how it is done by experts.  Tickets to the Good Food and Wine Show are R80 for general admission; you can get them online or at the door.  Happy nibbling :)
