Several top South African chefs and personalities, as well as an award-winning UK chef, will take to the stage when The Plant Powered Show returns to the Cape Town International Convention Centre this weekend from 26 to 28 May.
Chefs to look out for
The top line-up of renowned chefs includes the highly respected English chef, writer, and presenter, Tom Hunt; the iconic and much-loved Jenny Morris; plant-based African food educator, Jane Nshuti; Chef’s Table Cape Town founder, Santi Louzan; Western Cape wild foods expert, Loubie Rusch; chef, food stylist, and editor of TFG’s MyKitchen magazine, Chad January; head baker and owner of vegan bakery, Cinnamon Club, Jacques Kruger; qualified nutritional therapist and naturopath, Aliya Ferguson; Sunshine Food Co. founder, Elisha Madzivadondo; classically trained French chef, Damian Jardim; ex-Delaire Graff Estate and Boschendal chef Christiaan Campbell; Carin Brink, co-founder of the vegan sushi restaurant Plushi, and Eugene Volkov, executive chef at WE Café.
The Plant Powered Show is aimed at anyone with an interest in food, health, wellness, the environment, or more conscious living, as well as the trade, including retail, restaurant, hotel, and hospitality establishments, local distributors, and exporters, looking for innovative, high-quality products.
Apart from the exciting line-up of chefs who will entertain with live demos, the three-day event will also feature diverse and compelling talks by leading health and wellness experts, interactive experiences, exclusive industry networking, and a marketplace stocked with plant-based food, drink, and conscious living products.
One of the highlights will undoubtedly be the interactive masterclasses, which will feature chefs and award-winning mixologists hosting interactive, hands-on food and drink workshops.
Heidi Warricker, Founder and CEO of Live Events Africa, and organiser of The Plant Powered Show explains: “One of the biggest trends worldwide is sustainability and food awareness and this is where The Plant Powered Show is bang on target. People are becoming increasingly interested in what they are eating, where it comes from, and the effects their diets have on the environment. Chefs are sourcing better produce and using locally sourced ingredients and smaller producers which can only be beneficial for our health and our planet.”
This year, The Plant Powered Show will also make its long-awaited Gauteng debut when it takes place at the Kyalami International Convention Centre from 4-6 August.
