About this event
Executive chefs Louise Gillett and Dane Barnard come together for an evening of fire, flame and the flavours of South Africa. This summer we’re bringing out the big guns at our one and only Smoke & Fire dining experience. Two chefs, six courses and 1 lekker evening . All of it cooked on fire. All of it rooted in South Africa. Our executive chef Dane Barnard will be joining forces with Western Cape-based executive chef Louise Gillett for an evening of South African culinary exploration: bold flavours, smoke-kissed textures and produce pulled straight from the farm. About The Menu After a glass of sparkling wine, we're rolling out a 6-course South African menu. From snoek doughnuts with smoked labneh and peri peri roasted almonds, to torch-kissed watermelon carpaccio with feta, mint chutney and biltong crumb - this is South African fire cooking at its finest. Expect fish with sweet potato, noodle salad, spanspek and jalapeño crunch, as well as pressed confit lamb neck with charred mealies, pickled tomato and a duck rosemary jus, and a closing evaporated milk flan with caramelised peach and aniseed ice cream. Bold, smoky, and unapologetically South African. Scroll down for the full menu. About The Chefs Louise is one of South Africa’s most celebrated culinary figures, having spent decades cooking with the land - not just on it.
