The Food Olympics

Celebrate South Africa’s diverse culinary heritage this Heritage Month, with a unique three-course Olympic meal prepared by South Africa’s very own National Culinary Team – who’ll be wearing green and gold at the Culinary Olympics this October.

In their final preparation for the Olympics, Team South Africa will be presenting a three-course lunch to the public in Cape Town and Johannesburg – the exact same menu that will be presented to an international panel of judges and the watching world in Germany in October. You will have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sample world-class South African cuisine, presented by our very own National Culinary Team.

The Team will be cooking in an exact replica of the Olympic competition kitchens – constructed specially for the occasion. As a model of the conditions they will experience in Germany, they will prepare the meal under the glare of cameras and a public audience – the guests at this spectacular showcase of South African cuisine.
