Chefs Warehouse Spice Rack.

Friday, March 4th, 2011

Custom made for Chefs Warehouse is this new spice rack that’s just arrived. Built from durable ash wood, it has 12 spaces for glass spice jars making an easy way to keep spices fresh and on hand in your kitchen. If you buy your spices fresh from a market then this is a great way to avoid bags of spice cluttering up your kitchen counter or cupboard. You can purchase the entire rack with 12 glass jars for R1,090. Additional glass jars, should you need, are R15 each.

And if you weren’t aware, we’ve got an entire spice collection here at Chefs Warehouse. Cardamom, sumac, birds-eye chili flakes, pink peppercorns, juniper berries, star anise, fennel seeds, curry powder, cajun spice, mustard seeds, zhatar… you name it, we’ve probably got it here. So feel free to ask us to fill the spice jars for you with a range of useful spices to make it an even more worthwhile purchase.

Bertus Basson at Chefs Warehouse.

Monday, February 14th, 2011

Bertus Basson, famed chef at Eat Out Top 10 restaurant Overture in Stellenbosch is coming to host a class at Chefs Warehouse on 28th March. The Overture motto might be “perfection is often strived for but never achieved,” but Bertus is on a mission to prove that incorrect. He worked in London at Michelin-starred Chez Bruce, won the South African Chaine des Rotisseurs Junior chefs competition upon his return and has since represented South Africa in the national culinary team on three occasions.

Liam describes Bertus’ cooking as “simple, creative and fresh,” and if you want to see Bertus in action, get some pointers and enjoy some of his food, here’s your opportunity. The demonstration class will run in the evening on the 28th March, from 6h30pm – 9h30pm. More details and menu to follow soon.

Valentine’s Day Cookery Class.

Wednesday, January 19th, 2011

We have a few seats left for our Valentine’s Day cookery class. What’s it about? Well, this Valentine’s Day if you want to do something gourmet but don’t have a special someone (or would just rather be with friends), come through to Chefs Warehouse for our Valentine’s Day cookery class. It’s going to be a bunch of single folk, so come with a (single) friend and experience the decadent four-course menu that Liam has put together.

The menu will suit the occasion:

Freshly shucked oysters with caviar veloute
Poached crayfish tail with mango and basil
Champagne-poached chicken with potato and truffle gnocci and a foie gras sauce
Minestrone of summer berries with chocolate sorbet
Chocolate truffles

You’ll also get recipes and notes from all the dishes prepared that evening. Wines are being paired by Tracy van Maaren from TVM wine merchants.

The details: 14 February 2011. R700 per person. Oh, and yes, remember – no couples please…
