Taste of Cape Town: Eat your way through 12 Cape Town kitchens

Twelve chefs from ten kitchens are setting up at Green Point Cricket Club on Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 November for Taste of Cape Town. Each of them is cooking a dish that is not on the menu at their restaurant, Cape {town} Etc reports.

If La Colombe, FYN, Upper Union or URCHIN have been sitting on your list for a while, this is a way to get through several in one afternoon.

What is on the plate

Every chef serves two Signature Dishes and one Taste Exclusive, a dish created for this weekend only.

The line-up:

• James Gaag of La Colombe
• Amori Burger of Upper Union
• Bertus Basson of Basson & Co
• Vusi Ndlovu of EDGE Africa
• Shaun Scrooby of Vuur
• Peter Tempelhoff and Ashley Moss of FYN
• Arlind Harizaj of Amura
• Nicolo Rovarini and Federico Rocca of Riva
• Marcus Gericke of URCHIN
• Ismail Amos of the Wiggle

Wine, demonstrations and music

The wine is a collection rather than a single estate, curated with Beck Family Estates. It features Kleine Zalze, Cavalli, Waterford, Steenberg Vineyards and Boekenhoutskloof, with Graham Beck pouring Cap Classique.

The Air Chef Experience runs cooking demonstrations through the day. From late afternoon the stage belongs to Dino Moron, Bang Bang Music, Kitchen Mess, DJ Voodo, DJ Abby Nurock and John Lyra.

Readmission is included on your ticket, so you can book an afternoon session and return for the evening. Children under 12 get a yellow wristband at the gate.

Tickets

Tickets start at R450 for the Taste Entry Pass, which covers every restaurant, demonstration and pour. Taste Premium at R595 adds a Signature dish voucher.

Taste Lux at R895 includes a welcome Methode Cap Classique, wine or soft drink, plus a Signature and an Exclusive dish voucher. The Taste Lux Friends ticket covers four people for R3 222, which saves R358 compared with buying separately.

‘Cape Town already eats better than most cities in the world,’ says Bonnke Shipalana, group CEO of The Allure Group. ‘What it has never had is one weekend where you can walk between twelve of those kitchens with a glass in your hand. That is the whole idea.’
