If you’re an admirer of fine wines and an appreciator of good food, then you don’t want to miss out on the opportunity to join Vondeling for their Harvest Table on the farm in the heart of Paardeberg. On Saturday 9 March Vondeling will be collaborating with the chef’s team from Food Fanatics in what promises to be a delectable feast, celebrating the crop of this year’s harvest, at their annual communal table luncheon.
Guests will be treated to a beautifully presented and wholesome lunch prepared by owner Elaine Rosseau & head chef Elrika Kruger of Food Fanatics. Guests can look forward to the very best in fresh and flavoursome fare such as succulent lamb ribs in a coriander, lemon and thyme crust, followed by roasted chicken, lamb shank in puff pastry pie, pumpkin with salted caramel and cashew brittle, freshly picked garden crop with aioli and crushed parmesan potatoes.
As if the sound of these truly South African dishes is not enough to completely whet your appetite and have you salivating, malva pudding and peppermint crisp ice cream tart will be the sweet ending to a perfect lunch.
