They’ll be captivating conference-goers with their incredible knowledge, exploring the topic of “innovative dining: the flavours of fynbos”.
Both Van der Merwe and Kirkwood are foraging experts and extremely passionate about the botanical diversity of South Africa. They believe there are enormously forgotten and unexplored culinary potential in the country, but also very real flavour, safety, sustainability and economic challenges associated with this.
