Nobody ever told me that my little baby was going to grow into a big monster with horns....I tell you people I am stressed out of my cotton socks...But hang on a minute. Its very hot in Cape Town today and I don't actually have any socks on teehee...I reckon I could've booked out half the CTICC for a two day event at this rate. It is exciting stuff indeed.
Arniston Bay Wines will be sponsoring the wines for the event.
This remarkable festival will bring together the city's most acclaimed restaurants and
carefully selected exhibitors to attract 20 000 of Cape Town’s most dedicated and sophisticated foodies.
This year the Cape’s most extravagant food festival will again be held at Rhodes High School, Montreal Avenue , Mowbray. From Wednesday the 24th, to Sunday the 28th of March, 19 of the Cape’s top restaurants and chefs will be serving a stunning selection of sample - sized signature dishes to Taste of Cape Town visitors. You've got to be there to cut the mustard :o)
And then..........what almost made this gal's jaw fall to the floor and faint clean away.........
I don't quite know what to say anymore........thank you thank you thank you!! I am overwhelmed.
