Food & Wine Pairing: This Thursday.

Tuesday, October 5th, 2010

We’ve got four spaces left for our Thursday night class, which sees a repeat of the successful Art of Food & Wine Pairing event. It’s hosted by Swedish-born sommelier Mia Mårtensson together with Liam, who’ll be preparing six courses for the evening to go with wines from the Winery of Good Hope (Radford Dale, Black Rock & Vinum Africa). Mia will take guests through the pairings, exploring the ways in which different flavours play together in the mouth, what works and what doesn’t. There’ll be plenty of wine, a good amount of food and undoubtedly ample fun and laughter like last time.

The six-course food and wine pairing class runs this Thursday, October 7, from 6.30pm – 9.30pm. Cost is R650 per person. To book one of the last few seats, please contact Rachel on 021 422 0128 or info@chefswarehouse.co.za.

The Art of Pairing Food & Wine.

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

Swedish-born sommelier Mia Mårtensson from the Winery of Good Hope will guide guests through the art of food and wine pairing in this fun evening, the first of our August classes. Together with 12 dishes prepared by Liam himself, Mia will take guests through 6 different varietals to explore the flavour dynamics,  show the versatility of food and wine and provide a new perspective on the relationship between the two. The objective is to encourage one to build a broader understanding of the subject through combinations that really set off the wine and food partnership perfectly.

Mia is a qualified chef and sommelier (Restaurant Academy in Stockholm) that worked in Michelin-star restaurants in Europe for several years before heading to South Africa in 2005. Before joining the Winery of Good Hope she was the sommelier at the Relais & Chateau Grand Roche Hotel in Paarl for three years.

On the evening, Liam will provide recipes to go with dishes and will answer any questions regarding the food preparation. The class is on 4th of August from 18h30 – 21h30; cost is R650 per person. Seating is limited to 16 people to ensure an intimate and truly interactive food & wine experience. Please get in touch to reserve your place now!
