Big Country, Big Flavours, Big Night
Chefs never stop talking about food but in our commercial kitchen in Shoreditch, we most often talk about the foods, dishes and recipes of our African childhoods.
The stories wax and wane around Pieter’s Afrikaner roots – his mom's long, slow braises with fruit, vinegar and spices – and my English upbringing on the Eastern Cape coast where mielies, fresh fish and vetkoek with home-made apricot jam were always on the menu.
So we’re celebrating Freedom Day and UK polling day for the May election with a South African event over two nights in our supperclub kitchen, collaborating with our great friend and Hout Bay boytjie Grant Hawthorne (of the fiery and addictive African Volcano periperi sauce without which no breakfast, steak or pulled-pork sandwich is complete), and Jean-Louis Holtzhauzen, from The Cape Wine Academy in London.
We invite you to come along for a five-course tasting menu with matched wines.
We hope to stir your taste-buds with remembered flavours and introduce a few new ones too - it all adds up to a fabulous night!
