18 July 2018 would have been Nelson Mandela's 100th Birthday...a century of a name that embodies the magic and miracle that today represents the truly free and remarkable country that is South Africa...he showed us what it was to live in harmony and to never hold grudges - to treat everyone with the same respect and gratitude - no matter what your race or background is!My career in the media industry, has blessed me with many unique and special experiences over the years...Friday, 27 July 2018 will be one of those incredible memories that live in my foodie soul for a very long time - thanks to Tiso Blackstar Group, I was invited to a lunch to celebrate Madiba in food!The lunch was held at the restaurant "Bolton Road Collection" in Rosebank and our chef making the food was the one and only Brett Ladds, the personal chef for Nelson Mandela! The afternoon was spent eating some of Madiba's favourite food and wine and also listening to stories from Chef Ladds about his encounters and memories with our dear president and the various famous people who came to visit. |
On arrival we received a glass of sparkling wine that tasted of peach - Madiba did not drink a lot - Brett Ladds told us that Madiba tasted this sparkling liquid and it became his drink of choice at all dinners and banquets - in fact this South African wine from a small winery was ordered and made sure it was at all South African embassies when Nelson traveled...it was good enough for Madiba - it was amazing for us! |
Course 1 : Sole Roulade placed on creme Morogo (Spinach) and a sauce Bearnaise Smudge - this was made by Ched Ladd when the queen came to visit Madiba...this fresh, delicious and delicate flavoured starter was divine and was truly a celebration of local flavours with a hint of British flair...this Foodie Queen was well satisfied! |
Course 2 : A Family Favourite (the staple of the community and the nation) - Savoury medallion of miellie meal coated with a tomato relish crush and smoked marinated chicken...a fairly modern take on a simple, yet delicious plate of food that embodies the flavours of our land. This course was also served with a wine pairing of "Hartenberg Chardonnay" another wine had at a banquet madiba attended. |
Course 4 : the main portal to norish your soul - king crown of Madiba's favourite Karoo Lamp chops served with African root vegetables and potato sauteed...the lamb was juicy, soft and very tender - the lamb truly melted in the mouth and was by far the best lamb I have had in a very long time - paired with an organic red wine from the Cape Peninsula. |
The food was eaten, the stories were told and we all left feeling very uplifted and full - thank you to Chef Brett Ladds and the Tiso Blackstar Group team for such a fun and enriching afternoon - for those keen to learn more about Chef Ladds and to hear some of his stories, make sure to buy his book "The Madiba Appreciation Club, A Chef's Story" - KevFabFood will treasure my signed copy and cannot wait to start reading the book!
