Celebrate with Tina Bester

Thursday, October 6th, 2011


Celebrate is all about putting some swing into your entertainment style!

So says Tina Bester, aka the Queen of Tarts, in her latest softcover cookbook. Join us at Chefs Warehouse where Tina will prepare fabulous food fit for guests. Dishes that look desirable, taste delicious and are easy to make.

Our Celebrate session on October 15th follows some of her cookbook themes. Tina may cover sophisticated snacks for a garden party, a lemonade picnic, a Champagne high tea or dishes suitable for Friday night suppers with friends.

Tina will present three dishes from her new book, along with wine pairings. Take notes while Tina offers no-nonsense tips for dishes aimed at cooks, not chefs. And listen to her clever tablesetting ideas that involve using a bit of creativity.

Some tasty recipes from Tina’s book that caught our eye? Creamy onion soup with burnt sage butter, Pancetta and spring onion flatbreads, and lemon curd pavlova parfait with passion fruit and spun sugar. The spectacular strawberry and almond cake looks utterly luscious…

Tina’s book will be on sale at the class.

Saturday 15th October, 10am – 1pm. R450pp.

Wine: The Hedonist Red Blend 2008.

Monday, March 29th, 2010

The first wine to go on our great wine rack is The Hedonist Red Blend 2008. Made as an homage to the great Rhone blends from Chateuneuf du Pape and Hermitage, the wine is a mix of Syrah, Grenache, Carignan and Viognier. Grapes are from old bush vines up in the Swartland, and the wine is made as naturally as possible: fermented with natural yeasts, no excessive sulphur or any enzymes added throughout, and it’s neither fined nor filtered. The result is a robust yet refined wine that certainly delivers on expectation – created by a unique label and some recent word-of-mouth hype. And, of course, the name implies you shouldn’t just drink one bottle. Only five barrels were made. Contact us to get your hands on some.
