The Good Food and Wine Show Township Cookout

The afternoon started of like no other, besides abandoning my car at the side of the road, I hoped onto a bus, yes, a bus in anticipation for my very first township experience. In true Durban weather, the sun shone its very brightest as if teasing me because there was no air-conditioning in the bus. But that did not distract me from what awaited.

Seven celebrity chefs and food personalities who are part of the Food and Wine show eagerly awaited the arrival of media and bloggers who were treated to a cook off at the award winning Cafe Skyzer in Chesterville.

Durban Tourism who are proud platinum partners with Fiera Milano Exhibitions Africa will be hosting the Durban Food and Wine Show.
