Over the weekend however Plettenberg Bay food lovers did not have to settle on taking the chefs’ word on this; they had the opportunity to be in the kitchen with some of the best local and international celebrity chefs.
These culinary gurus were in town for the second annual Plett Food and Film Festival – a first of its kind in Africa – aimed at stimulating the senses through screenings of world-class films which explore food-related topics followed by gourmet culinary presentations by local and international connoisseurs.
Some of these culinary stars included the UK’s Spice Prince television chef and owner of one of London’s top restaurants, Reza Mahammad and celebrated South African chef, restaurant owner and author Karen Dudley.
“Visiting Plettenberg Bay is lovely, it feels like home and all of you are my extended family,” Mahammad said while doing a food presentation to a sellout crowd during the festival grand finale at The Whitehouse venue in Plett on Saturday July 11.
