tase of cape town 2 years back
I simply love the Taste of Cape Town and have been to every one. You can read all about last years event here.
Its a wonderful food event which showcases some of Cape Towns fine restaurants and their chefs. Each restaurant that exhibits presents a few signature dishes as tasting samples which you buy with the Taste of Cape Town currency of Crowns. Its the agony of choice on the night because you want to eat it all. A big highlight for me is the opportunity to meet and sometimes chat to the chefs who are super friendly and milling around.
In addition to the restaurants there is a small producers market where you can sample and buy products and attend cooking demonstrations at the Pick n Pay Fresh Living Chefs Theatre.
There is the Johnnie Walker Whisky Theatre and the Grolsch Beer Academy and a plethora of other wine lables exhibited, so plenty of opportunity to sample and drink. Its advisable to get a taxi home.
Its all about interaction which I love.
I am giving away one double ticket to the event for either the Thursday 5, May or Friday 6, May. Please note that this gets you free access into the venue and does not include crowns or a Taste wine glass.
The event takes place from the 5th May – 8th May at Green Point Cricket Club.
To enter simply leave a comment on this blog post with a reason why you would like (or love) these tickets before the 29th of April.

Hi Sam,
Have recently discovered your blog and really simply love it. Great food with some style as well. I have never been to Taste of Cape Town and would love to go with my husband. We tok your advice and went to El Burro Sat night. What a treat. Great food which doesn’t coast the earth.

My wife and I went to this 2 years ago and it was amazing. And it’s her birthday on 1 May, so this would be a great birthday treat for her. So PLEASE choose me
Sam DARLING I would loooove those 2 pretty shinny new tickets to the taste of CT
we can srizzle and drape ourselves all over taste this year darling hehehehe
Hi Sam
Both my husband and I have been chef for the last 5 years, which means that we usually we either not in the country when it happened, or we were one of the people making the food at the show. Everyone says that is must be a great experience, which it is, but all you ever do is WORK! And not walking, but RUNNING!
We are such foodies and love to experience new styles, complexities and flavours. For once we would like to enjoy the festival! So I think we should be given the tickets!
Hope to see you there
Monique
I would LOVE to go, the Friday evening, PRETTY PLEASE:-) Missed out last year and wouldn’t want that to happen again, planning to buy tickets, but if I get these then I will have more money for CROWNS!!!
Taste of Cape Town is a great event! Great Participants!
Okay, Sam, I am the most deserving winner.
Reasons:
1. I am unemployed, and moneyless and cannot buy the ticket myself
2. This would be my first time visiting Taste of Cape Town – we all remember our first
3. I recently lost a competition I really thought I’d win based on technicalities (competition spirit is down)
4. I love food (this one doesn’t really count because all entrants have this as a reason)
5. I want to practise my photography on something other than my own food
6. Boyfriend and I need to get out of the house and DO something (if only slightly) resembling a date
7. I’m hungry
8. I commend your boobs on Twittert
My wife and I went to this 2 years ago and had a great time. It’s her birthday in May and this would be a fantastic treat for her.
ciao

I can’t say I am unemployed – thank heavens not.

Food glorious food… How could I not be in the mood?
Give me tickets please, I would like to Taste food from ranging from Thai to Bolognaise .
