From indigenous hunter-gatherers and pastoral tribes through to the Indian, French, Dutch, Greek, Portuguese, Malaysian and more, the food carries a rich history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each dish at the South African Food Experience tells a story. We have explored the land to discover the special treats and fantastic flavours that we have on offer. Our team has curated an experience that links the natural wonders of South Africa with the special foods that are so close to our hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The menu is an interactive three-course lunch featuring traditional South African recipes with a Fynbos twist. The starter is an introduction to Fynbos salts, botanical vinegars and culinary herbs through tapas using local suppliers incorporating Buchu, Rooibos, Snowbush, Honeybush and Cape Mountain Sage with artisanal cheeses, butter, olives and olive oil, bread, biltong and sundried tomatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped

The Farmhouse was built between 1810 and 1812 and declared a national monument in 1985.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The farm has over the years produced vegetables, flowers, bark for tanning purposes, dairy produce and corn. Around 1820 Brand built a watermill on the Else River. This mill was in use till at least 1842 with the local farmers bringing their wheat and bread being made in the nearby bakery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Predating all of this, the southern cape is also known as the Cradle of Human Culture with 160 000 years of history so far uncovered. While most of the archaeology has been lost to time there are many Stone Age midden pits and stone tool artefacts all around the Peninsula with Peers and Admirals Falls Caves both showing signs of prehistoric habitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both the main homestead and the outbuildings are predominantly Cape Dutch in style and of considerable architectural merit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Host<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Olivia Gain, Founder and Executive Chef. Olivia grew up in South Africa and, after finishing school, spent a few years in London working in French restaurants. When she returned to South Africa she moved to Simon\u2019s Town, Cape Town. She has always had a deep passion for South African cuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her culinary journey includes The Meeting Place in Simon\u2019s Town which ran for 17 years. The restaurant was featured on local television programmes, and appeared in numerous magazine publications. With a specialisation in menu conceptualisation and development, Oliva has experimented with a wide variety of dishes and learnt from many talented chefs at other well-known local restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today she lives in Welcome Glen with her two children, Noah and Sophie, and her black pug, Rosie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-button-group aligncenter stk-block-button-group stk-block stk-f0944d9\" data-block-id=\"f0944d9\"><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks has-text-align-center stk-block-content stk-button-group\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-button stk-block-button has-text-align-center stk-block stk-6a29d29\" data-block-id=\"6a29d29\"><a class=\"stk-link stk-button stk--hover-effect-darken\" href=\"https:\/\/southafricanfoodexperience.co.za\/index.php\/contact\/\"><span class=\"stk-button__inner-text\">R1850 per person | Click to book the Experience<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>South African Food Experience<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">hello@southafricanfoodexperience.co.za, www.southafricanfoodexperience.co.za<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The South African Food Experience offers an interactive three-course lunch highlighting local flavours and Fynbos ingredients.
