Cellars Chefs-in-Training

Last night we had an authentic Cape Malay dinner at Cellars hosted by the gracious GM Tony and his lovely wife, one of our fabulous Africa partners, Dani.  Cellars' main restaurant The Greenhouse was named the #1 restaurant in South Africa this year - congrats! We were treated to their unique and interactive private dining Cape Malay Experience. I was not the best at wrapping samosas (see right) but thankfully Martha the Master of Cape Malay was patient with me. The typical cuisine of Cape Town is heavily influenced by Southeast Asian food - spicy, curries, chutneys, yum! While the food was fabulous (needless to say) the company really made the meal.

Again not even close to enough time at Cellars (story of this trip), Jamo, Lindsey, and I had a 5AM wake-up call to go cage shark diving! Unfortunately we got a foreboding call in the evening... no sharks have been seen for a week... very unprecedented for this time of year and the current weather.  We remained optimistic...
