The Good Food & Wine Show

Yesterday I took myself of to  The Good Food & Wine Show! And what a feast it was! Colourful, vibrant and brimming with good taste and not to mention celebrity chefs. It is on at The Cape Town Convention Centre until the 29 th May.  Besides James Martin, Heston Blumenthal and our local leading chefs like Craig Cormack, Bertus Basson and Jenny Morris (just to mention a few) there was a Wellbeing Theatre, Wine Theatre and a Slow Food Market. All absolutely delectable and kept my taste buds dancing in delight.



The Le Creuset stand was, as always, a colour feast and people couldn't stop touching and gasping.  I adore the burnt red colour and of course it fits my kitchen perfectly, BUT, the Cassis is just a mouth-watering, and I want one!!!!!
The photos just doesn't do the jewel colour justice at all....think the purple passion of the Aubergine...hmmmm.. gorgeous!
These bottles of grappa from Bottega are so beautiful and I would buy the range and light them up as an accessory in our Pub... I just love the colours. Will have to buy a second set to drink....

I wanted to recline here with this book....



The best colour in the world, is the one, that looks good on you! Coco Chanel. (the pink looks great on the cake ...)


Table settings...
Billowy meringues....


Lots of Ooohh la la...


Panforte
How do you choose?


Too cute on the back of a mini truck...




Have a look at the cute cake stand and the stunning packaging of the tea!!!

Gorgeous table decor

Of course, I love the colour of these moulds and could easily hang them on my kitchen wall. They have inspired me to bake more, for sure. The sunflower is so gorgeous...


The softest toffee in the world!

Rudi's  Sausage Deli and sausage of every description...


And if the lampshade fits....
Imagine, you could have a new lamp just by changing the outfit!!


So, this is just a taste of what is on offer...
There is much more to see, taste and explore...so if you are in Cape Town , pop  in to The Good Food and Wine Show for a feast to tantalise those taste buds...

Happy Weekend...
This gent had clearly had enough and was just soaking up the sun next to the canal...


...along with some Mother City Magic...

Bon Appétit
