Back to School

Friday, January 11th, 2013

After the long Summer /Christmas Holiday, this is a kids worst phrase: “Back to School”! No more late nights, lie – in’s or long days in the sun on the beach.

Fortunately, when we speak about school, thoughts of delicious dishes whipped up by Liam or a special guest is what comes to mind.

Dish after tasty dish accompanied by terrific wines sounds far more enticing than boring lessons given by, often, less than enthusiastic teachers.

Our guest Chefs and most certainly, Liam are more than happy to guide our guests through all the intricacies of their dishes, and answer any questions they may have. If you haven’t attended one of our demonstrations, now is the time. So it’s back to school, but in the most fun way, for all that cannot wait to sample fantastic dishes and try then at home. We will be adding new dates via our newsletter, keep posted.

22nd January BASIC DESSERT COURSE Part 4, 6pm to 9pm, R650

Launch of Lessons with Liam in November

Thursday, January 3rd, 2013

Lessons with Liam

In November, Liam, in conjunction with NB Publishers, launched “Lessons with Liam” at Chefs Warehouse. The launch took place over 2 days, with customers, media, friends and family joining in the celebration, with dishes from the book being served with wines from Leopards Leap.

Pete Goffe-Wood, the guest speaker, regaled guests with anecdotes from his experience working with Liam. Photographer Russell Smith, with whom Liam collaborated on “Lessons with Liam”, joined in the fun with friendly banter much to the delight of the guests assembled.

The book has so far been a fabulous success, with copies flying off the shelves both at Chefs Warehouse and book stores alike. Click on the link above to catch a glimpse of what happened.

“Lessons with Liam” R350

Snowflakes

Monday, December 10th, 2012

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Christmas is mostly about family and tradition, and while we are far removed from the tradional ways in which our friends in the Northern Hemisphere celebrate Christmas, that doesn’t mean we can join in on all the fun.

Our Christmases are hot and dry, this being the biggest difference in the way we celebrate Christmas compared to our northern friends. And although this doesn’t stop us from enjoying turkey lunches with all the trimmings and other festive cheer, it helps to have little reminders of how Christmas is celebrated up north.

That is where these beautiful SNOWFLAKE cutters come in handy. Think crunchy cookies with icing, pastries decorated with snowflake cutouts and snowflakes all over your Christmas cake. All these served on our natural FLOW tray will make your Christmas just that little bit more special.

Snowflake cutters (set of 5) R295

FLOW tray R300

Sad news

Wednesday, November 21st, 2012

We learned this morning that two of Heston Blumenthal’s chefs from The Fat Duck, were killed in a car accident in Hong Kong.

Chefs  Ivan Jorge, 34, and Carl Lindgren, 30, died alongside their driver Wong Kim-Chung, 53, after  their taxi was  crushed between two buses.

The chefs had been in Hong Kong with Jonny Lake, head chef of The Fat  Duck, to promote a new Heston Blumenthal restaurant.

A spokesman for the Fat Duck confirmed two “uniquely talented” senior chefs had been killed in the accident, understood to have happened while they were with a team from the three Michelin-starred restaurant cooking a series of special meals at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in the city.

Our condolences go to their families, friends and colleagues.

Special SALE Drawers

Tuesday, November 13th, 2012

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s a mystery! Take a look at those drawers, what is in them? Only way to find out is to come by Chefs Warehouse and rummage around. The price on the front of the drawer is the price of whatever is in it. Could be a book, some interesting piece of equipment or a placemat or two.

Everyone loves a bargain, and we are bucking the January sale or even the ‘just before Christmas sale’ trend, by getting a head start. This is great for last minute gifts, if you start your Christmas shopping early, or stocking fillers.
