Capsicum Masterclasses for Cape foodies

These will include be not-to-be-missed specialised one-off courses hosted by Langtafel op die Duin’s Isabella Niehaus; chef and food stylist Bas Newman with Heart FM drive time host Suga; owner of Loaves by Madam Baker in Woodstock Ciska Rossouw; Pure Good founder Shannon Smuts and Heinrich Koen, owner of House of H in Cape Town’s Loop Street.

The classes kick off on Wednesday, August 28 from 18h00 to 20h00 with Koen who will be showing attendees how to make the perfect hamburger.

Says Koen – who worked at Café Paradiso, Madame Zingara and Jamie’s Italian as well as for Aldo Zilli before starting his own operation three years ago – “It’s going to be the coolest class! I am going to show people how to make a delicious burger and it won't be a daunting task to replicate at home. Making food is all about passion and cooking with some love, so bring the love and let's make some lekker burgers.”

What constitutes the ultimate hamburger in his opinion: “It is all about using the proper cuts with the best flavour for the mince patty. Do not over complicate, let the taste come through within its simplicity.”

Says Cape Town principal Lianne Holt: “Our masterclass for foodies will allow cooking enthusiasts the chance to cook and bake with celebrated chefs who have made a name for themselves with their unique culinary art.”

Cost per class is R750 per person including ingredients. Attendees much be aged 18 or over. For more information contact: 021 442 0600
