With the flowers starting to bloom already, what better time of the year to visit the West Coast than in Spring? And so we are excited to announce our Veldkos Lunch and Veld Stroll event, hosted by Kobus van der Merwe at Oep ve Koep, Paternoster.
If you haven’t already heard about Oep ve Koep, have look at Kobus’ blog at Sardines on Toast (just don’t do it before lunch). Kobus has built up a fervent following, by keeping his menu ‘West Coast’ and using locally sourced (often foraged) ingredients to whip up sumptuous dishes. If you thought Veldkos was purely about sustenance, this event might just make you think twice about how you view indigenous ingredients.
On Sunday 28 August, Kobus will be preparing a very special three-course Slow Food Mother City lunch. To work up your appetite, we are also honored to have a field botanist to take us for a short exploration of the area to show us what and where Veldkos actually is!
Event details:
Date: Sunday 28 August 2011.
We will be meeting at Oep ve Koep at 11am, to commence our walk-about at 11.15am. The walk will be about 1 hour long and will take place either around Paternoster or the nearby nature reserve, weather and plants depending!
Lunch will be a specially prepared 3 course set meal, jugs of water provided. BYO is allowed, with 1 bottle between 4 people at R20 corkage, however Oep ve Koep has a small but very reasonable regional wine list, which you are encouraged to support.
Children: Whilst we endeavour to include children at our events, Kobus’ kitchen is a ‘one man band’ and the menu is likely to be quite unusual, there is no capacity to make an alternative children’s menu. Babies that are too small for food are welcome to join us, but otherwise, we feel that this event is not suitable for children under 14. Our apologies!
Cost: The cost for the whole event is R280 for Slow Food members, R320 for guests. .As Oep ve Koep can only seat 20, we will be limiting numbers to first come, first served.
We very excited about this trip to Paternoster, and we hope you will join us! Book here to do so.
Warm Regards,
Slow Food MotherCity
