Radisson Red launches Culinary Masterclasses with Chef Zola Nene and Chef Morné Botha

The art of cooking has long been billed as ‘therapeutic’ and a way to de-stress. Yet, sometimes our daily lives leave little time to cook, as when we’re not at work, we’re either sleeping or socialising. So why not mix in some socialising with learning new ways to cook? 

It doesn’t matter if you’re a microwave Luddite or a refined connoisseur used to the finest South African restaurants – the newly launched Masterclass with Chef Zola Nene and Chef Morné Botha at the Radisson RED Hotel in Cape Town has something for all tastes and abilities.

Led by RED’s Kitchen Lead – aka Head Chef, Morné Botha, together with bubbly TV chef, food stylist and cookbook author, Zola Nene, the exclusive masterclasses will offer participants expert insight into the art of cooking simple, delicious meals with a contemporary twist.

Held once a month for the next three months at RED, and consisting of only 12 participants per class, each Masterclass with Chef Zola and Chef Morné will indulge a different theme. Both chefs will present vastly different recipes according to the monthly theme, which they will then prepare step-by-step together with the participants. Once all the cooking is done and dusted, everyone will be invited to pull up a seat and break bread as they tuck into the day’s delectable creations.

The experience is set to be a rare opportunity for foodies to learn from two of the best in the culinary industry, before tucking into a meal together. “No doubt Chef Morné and I will also be sharing golden tips and tricks we’ve learned from our many years in the industry,” says Chef Zola with a wink. “We’re all about sharing!”
