It's that time of year again, people, when The Good Food and Wine Show rolls into Cape Town. It's the only thing that makes these wet and windy grim days better! I'm talking stalls and stalls of beautiful food and wine to taste and buy! I go every year, last year, or maybe it was the year before, I bought some DELICIOUS strawberry wine that wasn't even available for retail in South Africa yet, how's that for incredible!
This year is bound to be even more incredible, since top chefs like Gordon Ramsay, of Hell's Kitchen, Reza Mohammed, Eric Lanlard, Giorgio Locatelli and Willie Harcourt- Cooze will be hosting Chef's in Action theatres. At these shows the chef in question performs a show for the audience, who are then invited to taste the produce created during the show. It's an experience of a lifetime, and one any foodie worth his fleur de sel should NOT be missing!
Even BBC Lifestyle is getting on board, with the exciting Get Fresh hands-on workshops, while the Stellenbosch Slow Food Market educates and features the best of local slow food produce.
All in all, you should make a plan to get to The Good Food and Wine Show this weekend, it runs from Thursday 13 - Sunday 16 May, and adult standard tickets are R80. PLEASE go, you will not regret it!
{Full disclosure: I have been offered free entry to the show in return for a post. However, due to the fact that I have been to the Show for the last two years and thoroughly enjoyed it, I would pay, and have paid, gladly for these tickets, and would write a post regardless.}
