Five-course South African inspired journey by former MasterChef Australia contestant and runner up 2017

The Maslow Sandton is proud to present a two-night pop-up with Australian MasterChef Ben Ungermann.

You’ve seen this international gourmet powerhouse on your TV, now guests will be able to interact with and experience Ungermann’s charm and culinary prowess in person as he flexes his foodie muscles to take diners on a five-course South African inspired journey.

Expect out of the ordinary dishes like a rooibos smoked sweet corn dish, sous vide kabeljou with burnt leek mosaic, watercress and pea shoots, a main of a garlic, sage and charcoal beef log, burnt cauliflower puree, glazed beetroot coals, and a dessert dish worthy of a MasterChef finale – salted caramel, biltong and caramel ice cream, tangy homemade cheesecake and more.

Each dish will be paired with wines from two South African boutique estates.
