We had the pleasure of catering the snacks for a lovely tasting experience done by Terre Paisible in Cape Town this past weekend.
The kind of afternoon that reminds us that the little details make all the difference.
Thank you, Terre Paisible, for having us 🤍

CHEFS TIP:
If you're tired of garnishing your food with boring chopped parsley, why not try flash fried herbs instead.
Heat vegetable oil to 170 °C.
Carefully drop your herbs in the hot oil and fry for a few seconds, till crisp.
Remove and let drip on a paper towel.
This works with herbs like:
- parsley
- basil
- rosemary
- sage
- thyme
- mint
It even works with leaves such as :
- kale
- swiss chard
- cellery leaves
Temp and frying time needs to be adjusted based on the herbs you're using.
We used fried sage and cellery leaves to garnish this dish...
- spinach and leek risotto, wild mushrooms, pancetta, hung yogurt
