One Ingredient Dinner: Wild About Mushrooms
A word about the experience
Join me for a unique dining experience where mushrooms will feature as the star ingredient in four delicious plant-based dishes, including the desert. Expect the unexpected, maybe even a little magic!
Some of the mushrooms (and wild plants) have been foraged by me. With over two decades of mushroom-hunting experience, you can rest assured that this will be no night of Russian Roulette - you will be feasting on the delicious, not the deadly, variety! And if wild mushrooms aren’t in season, porcini foraged and sun dried on the slopes of Table Mountain in Cape Town will find their way into the dishes, alongside a variety of exotic mushrooms.
We’ll start off the evening with a glass or two of German bubbly (or home-brewed kombucha ‘champagne’ for the non-drinkers) and have some fun creating some edible edible art together. Throughout the dinner you will enjoy a few South African touches, including in the last course: an unusual but sexy pairing of creamy, dreamy umami-rich Porcini and Chocolate Ice Cream, served with a delicious traditional South African dessert of malva pudding - all vegan, of course!
You are welcome to bring your own drinks.
