CAPE TOWN, South Africa, April 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — There are myriad reasons why South Africa is one of the most sought-after travel destinations in the world, yet top of the list are always variations on these three themes: incredible food and wine, the warmth of the people, and the sheer beauty of its diverse landscapes.
[1]A breakout five-part series called I’ll Bring the Wine[2] blends all of these aspects together: traversing the length and breadth of the country while tasting its best cuisine and meeting some of its finest people along the way too.
Created by award-winning wine brand, Nederburg[3], and hosted by acclaimed chef and food writer, Karen Dudley[4] (whose Cape Town restaurant has served the likes of former First Lady Michelle Obama), each episode profiles a prominent South African chef, a quintessential South African dish made with real flair, and the ideal wine to pair it with.
Eye-watering cinematography meets mouth-watering gastronomy and together with Karen’s[5] poignant insights, creates a travel, food and wine show like no other.
Think a pinch of Chef’s Table, with a dash of Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown, and a large helping of Mzansi magic thrown in for good measure.
To whet your appetite…
From the lush, rural foothills of Kwa-Zulu Natal[6] to the bustling townships of Cape Town[7], much-loved chef Mmabatho Molefe[8] succeeds in giving classic Nguni cuisine a dramatic contemporary makeover (think chicken feet terrine with onion caviar).
Next, multi-award-winning chef and Midlands maven, Jackie Cameron[9], brings beef tongue[10] to life like never before.
In Episode 3[11], take a trip down to Durban’s famed Spice Market, in search of a one-of-a-kind chef and his take on a dish to celebrate Diwali.
In the penultimate episode[12], ice-cream meets Africa’s staple grains and creates something truly revolutionary in the process.
And in the final episode[13], two impossibly different places meet on one plate: a rugged stretch of coastline, home to the world’s only truly wild oysters, and the parched desert plains of the Karoo, home to a variety of buck that still roam free, as they have for millennia. The resultant dish: a surf and turf like you’ve never seen or tasted before.
