Franschhoek’s La Petite Ferme Appoints Talented New Head Chef
La Petite Ferme, the renowned manor house and vineyard suites on the Franschhoek Pass and member of The Nest Collection, has appointed a talented new head chef. Odette Olivier comes with a wealth of local and international experience and is set to re-invigorate the dining experience at one of the Cape’s most scenic locations. Odette will oversee and implement the menu design and provide oversight of the restaurant. A cornerstone of the offering is a seasonal menu showcasing quality produce. The motivation behind each dish stems from the origins of La Petite Ferme itself, delivering country cuisine with a fresh contemporary touch. Raised in Cape Town, Odette decided already at school that she wanted to become a chef. She completed a culinary diploma at hospitality school and began her career at the Africa-inspired Marimba restaurant, under Lindsay Venn. She ascribes this foundation to the “unforgettable” opportunities that followed. More recently, she was involved with Holland America Line and hosting live cooking classes for America’s Test Kitchen. Now at La Petite Ferme, Odette looks forward to building on the property’s great culinary and hospitality tradition. The restaurant at La Petite Ferme is currently open for lunch Saturdays and Sundays from 12h00 to 15h00; and, dinner seven days a week from 18h00 to 21h00. www.lapetiteferme.co.za
Taalmonument Launches Fabulous Summer Programme
With summer approaching and Covid-19 restrictions being eased, the Afrikaans Language Monument is pleased to launch an exciting summer programme from November 2021 to March 2022.
Meet the Team at the Boschendal Farm Shop
The really great thing about shopping at the Farm Shop on Boschendal is the fact that there are such friendly faces behind the counters. This includes Ralton Adams, Tracey Mopane, and Thozama Thembani. Farm Shop Manager Ralton Adams has been working at Boschendal since 2014, and actually started out as tasting room manager. He has a strong background in wine and food tourism, loves food and wine and very excited to be part of the Farm Shop. His personal recommendations from the Farm Shop line-up includes the famous freshly baked Pastéis de Nata (‘people come from all over just for that!’), as well as the ribeye and fillet. “As for the wine – you’ve got to try the bubbly! Supervisor Tracey Mopane, has been part of the Boschendal team for seven years, and completed her WSET 2 training after working with the wine tasting team. When COVID hit in 2020, Tracey was asked to assist with setting up the pop-up Farm Shop. “As a person who goes for challenges, I went to help with this new offering. It’s been amazing so far, and I can’t wait to see where we take the brand in future,” she says. Tracey recommends that everyone try the chicken wrap, toasted cheese and tomato sarmie and the carrot cake. Farm Shop Supervisor Thozama Thembani started working at Boschendal in 2015 as a waiter at The Werf, and was then promoted to wine advisor before moving on to the wine tasting team, where she conducted historical tours, did connoisseurs tastings, and facilitated canapés and wine pairings.
Besides the popular star gazing and full moon picnics, this symbol-laden sculpture on Paarl Mountain will play host to musicians, flame dancers, choirs, Valentine’s Day, a night run and even father Christmas himself. “We look forward to welcoming locals and tourists to this magical place,” says director Michael Jonas. “The past two years have been challenging, but there is light at the end of the tunnel, and our summer programme is the perfect cure to get young and old out here where culture, nature and pleasure intersects. As nearly all events take place outdoors, physical distancing is easy.” The museum and monument are open to visitors, with playgrounds for the children and outdoor games. “We have also used the last few months to do maintenance work, create an indigenous herb and vegetable garden, improve access for the disabled, and cut brand-new mountain bike trails,” adds Jonas. “On top of that we have a new exhibit in the visitors centre, now provide audio guides in six languages for free, and still rotate our outdoor gallery with beautiful, creative Afrikaans works.” Everyone is invited to soak up spectacular sunsets before feasting their eyes on the glittering night skies and full moons, especially when it coincides with concerts. These include jazz and classical music, school choirs and Riana Nel as well as Psychedelic Theatre’s much-loved fire magicians. Guests are always welcome to bring picnics and drinks to share with family and friends, and with new friends. They are also invited to donate new or second-hand children’s books in support of the Taalmonument’s literacy project for children. All Covid-19 protocols, including visitor numbers, are adhered to. Please see www. taalmonument.co.za for the latest information regarding courses and events, and take into account that due to limited numbers, booking is often essential.
“Everyone is very enthusiastic, and supportive. We all want to learn and grow and be our best,” she says. “I am very excited about the new Homeware section – it’s my baby!” Boschendal is excited to launch a revamped and extended Farm Shop in the first week of November with a new dedicated homeware section located across the Werf area, stocked full of locally made artisanal products to decorate with and enjoy. Just in time for the festive season, the Boschendal retail offering is set to make your holidays one to savour and enjoy. shop.boschendal.com

Musgrave Crafted Spirits, known for disrupting the luxury spirits industry, has launched INSPIRIT – an aromatic, alcohol-free infusion made with 12 rare botanicals inspired by the ancient spice route of Africa. After many hours of tinkering and experimenting INSPIRIT is distinctive in flavour, pink in colour, and delivers a light and elegant alternative to Musgrave’s other botanical offerings. Infused with cardamom and juniper notes that complement those of African ginger, lime, and grains of paradise, gives it a harmonious and fragrant finish. “INSPIRIT is all about finding the balance. The pandemic has certainly highlighted the relationship many people have with alcohol and as a result has ignited a move to reduce one’s daily intake. Whether you’re looking to cut down on calories or stick to a fitness routine, consuming less alcohol during these times can really help to maintain a balanced lifestyle. It then makes those days when you do enjoy a Musgrave Original Gin or Pink Gin cocktail, that more special.” Says Simone Musgrave, owner, and founder of Musgrave Crafted Spirits. Musgrave Pink was South Africa’s original pink gin, which has been the inspiration for INSPIRIT and was developed with the same pioneering spirit of adventure. Born out of the African explorations of the Musgrave Family at the turn of the 19th Century. The family’s tale is one of adventure and discovery, embodied in the tenacious spirit of patriarch Maurice Boon Musgrave. www.musgravespirits.com

FYN | World’s Best
PETER TEMPELHOFF’S FYN EARNS A COVETED SPOT ON THE WORLD’S 50 BEST LIST
Just three years after opening, Peter Tempelhoff’s FYN restaurant in Cape Town has placed 92nd on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants™ 50-100 list.
It’s been carnage for the restaurant industry over the last 18 months. So for Peter, Culinary Director Ashley Moss, and Service and Beverage Director Jennifer Hugé, to make it through and now receive this news is incredible. They’re happy and relieved, exhausted and proud; they’re also HUGELY grateful to the local patrons who’ve supported FYN.
Peter, reflecting on the award says, “this is a real watershed moment for us, it means the world. And for the announcement to come at this time is huge. We’re really honoured, and I want to give kudos to Jennifer and Ashley and their teams – who strive to perfect everything they do. They’ve rolled with the punches throughout and they’re a phenomenal support to me.” “When you consider how many restaurants there are in the world, it truly is a big deal. I hope this will prove to be a catalyst to reignite conversations about food, and get people out and eating in Cape Town restaurants again.”
Being awarded by The World’s 50 Best Restaurants™ is a huge achievement, not just for the restaurant which is placed, but for the broader industry as well. A panel of more than 1000 experts work through an audited assessment and voting process to produce an updated list each year. Since 2002 the awards have been a barometer for the world’s fine dining scene.
Peter sums up the project, “we wanted to do something we could look back on and be proud of, and the only way to do that is through hard work and passion.” This accolade is not just a reward for that dedication, but also a validation of the taste and judgement shown by all those who have supported FYN since it opened. www.fynrestaurant.com
The Great Wine Capitals Best Of Wine Tourism Awards is a perfect opportunity for wine tourism operators to share our winemaking craft, culture and experiences with visitors from across the globe.
The Final Countdown
S.PELLEGRINO YOUNG CHEF FINALIST PAUL PRINSLOO PREPARES FOR THE GRAND FINALE
Chefs Paul Prinsloo and his mentor Gregory Czarnecki tell us about their preparations for the S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy Grand Finale in Milan, where Paul will be competing against 11 of the top young chefs in the world for the prestigious title. All around the world the 12 finalists for S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy 2021 are preparing for the Grand Finale which takes place in Milan from the 28th-30th October. Here in South Africa, where he is now sous chef for Gåte Restaurant at Quoin Rock, Africa & Middle East Region finalist Paul Prinsloo has just completed the fifth practise run of his dish, Bouillabaisse 2.0, guided by his mentor Gregory Czarnecki. Perfection, precision, and accurate timing is the aim. Paul’s dish, Bouillabaisse 2.0 is a modern take on a bouillabaisse fish stew, the fishermen’s way of using up unsold fish – it was traditionally made by poaching whatever fish and vegetables were left over that day, in stock made from all the bones and offcuts. “I’ve looked at it from a modern chef’s perspective,” says Paul, “adding neatness to the plate. The langoustine is
www.lifebrands.co.za
not poached it’s wrapped in kataifi pastry and pan-fried in clarified butter that’s been infused with langoustine shell. The lemon juice is a gel.” The bouillabaisse is reduced to a thick puree that is emulsified with butter to a rich intensity. “When you taste it, I want the sauce to make you say, ‘forget about the dish, just give me the sauce!’” Paul has made one small addition to his dish since the regional finals, adding a slice of poached scallop. He’s been working towards zero waste, using every last part of the seafood. “The leftover langoustine that you’re not using on the plating goes in the bouillabaisse. Potato offcuts go in as well. That doesn’t change the flavour profile but helps thicken it, and there’s even less wastage.” Gregory’s role as a mentor is hands off, he doesn’t do any
of the physical cooking. It’s about the mental preparation, protecting the finalist’s head space! This is the first time in the S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy competition that finalists have selected their own mentors. “It just made sense to me to pick Chef Gregory as he was my head chef for the four and half years while I was at The Restaurant at Waterkloof.” Sanpellegrino wishes Paul and all the S.Pellegrino Young Chef finalists the best of luck with their final preparations, as the countdown to the Grand Finale begins. For more information on the Young Chef Academy, a further demonstration of S.Pellegrino’s commitment to nurturing the next generation of culinary game-changers, please visit the S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy web page.

TRAVEL
A Cape Classic Reinvented – The Winchester Hotel Nearly a century after it was first built; The Winchester Hotel has re-opened to the public after a comprehensive R90-million renovation that has transformed this much-loved seafront hotel overlooking Cape Town’s scenic Sea Point promenade.
Originally built as a residential apartment block, and previously known as The Winchester Mansions the reimagined, The Winchester Hotel reopens under the management of Newmark Hotels, Reserves, Lodges and Residences, with a remarkable refurbishment set to cement the hotel’s long-held reputation as one of Cape Town’s most sought-after destinations. Honouring the rich history of the property, while meeting the evolving needs of the contemporary traveller, was the starting point for the creative process behind the redesign, explains Mardré Meyer, Creative Director at Source Interior Architecture, which has guided both the refurbishment and rebranding of the hotel. From the first steps through the front door, where a sleek steel and glass roof now replaces the vintage canvas awning, the transformation is striking. A bold approach to the décor sees the hotel’s public spaces enlivened by an eye-catching monochromatic colour scheme of richly-detailed black-and-white tiles, offset by striking signature chandeliers and splashes of colour and character that celebrate the hotel’s long and rich history. The minimalist look extends to the iconic central courtyard and to where The Constance Room offers boutique conferencing facilities. A reimagined wellness spa is also in the pipeline, with opening planned for early 2022. The seventy-six guest rooms and suites have been thoughtfully updated, infusing modernity into the décor and design. The spacious en-suite bathrooms are a particular triumph, with expansive showers complemented by glamorous touches that hint at the golden era of travel,

The extensive refurbishment has allowed The Winchester Hotel’s sea-facing rooms to better capitalise on their remarkable views across the Atlantic Ocean to Robben Island. In step with the extensive revamp of the rooms and public areas, fresh inspiration has been given to the food and drink experience in the capable hands of respected restaurateur Rory Jossel. The key for Jossel, who owns and operates successful restaurants in South Africa and Dubai, was to create a dining destination with a charm and character that dovetails with The Winchester Hotel, yet stands apart as a destination in its own right. While Jossel and his creative culinary team continue to refine the experience ahead of The Winchester Hotel’s hotly-anticipated re-opening, the foundation of the dining experience will be a contemporary menu built on cooking with charcoal, wood and open flame. Complementing the dining experience will be a new incarnation of the hotel’s famous Harvey’s Bar. While the décor, service and drinks menu have all been updated for a more contemporary bar experience, what hasn’t changed is the wonderful street-side terrace overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and Cape Town’s famous seafront Promenade. After nearly a century of standing watch on the Atlantic Seaboard, a true Cape icon has been beautifully reinvented for a brave new world of global travel. www.newmarkhotels.com
