Love on a Plate at Hyde Park Corner on Mother’s Day.

Hyde Park Corner is celebrating Moms this Mother’s Day with a wonderfully unique event which will capture the imagination and a priceless memory at the same time!

Made for Mom
It was Apicius, the first Century Roman gourmand, who ostensibly coined the phrase “We eat first with our eyes”. And he wasn’t wrong. Eating is a journey for all the senses and a masterfully plated dish draws us in before we even know what is on the plate.

On Sunday, 8 May Hyde Park Corner has partnered with two of our most-loved restaurants to host plating workshops on Mother’s Day this year. Olives & Plates and Just Teddy Fine Boulangerie & Pâtisserie are renowned for their immaculate and creative plating; these plating workshops will offer not only an exclusive opportunity to see how they do it; but the perfect Mother’s Day experience too.

The workshops will take place in two workshop timeslots at each restaurant on Sunday, 8 May from 10am to 11am and again from 3pm to 4pm with limited seating capacity at each workshop. Perfect timing for a Mother’s Day activity either after breakfast or lunch at one of the restaurants at Hyde Park Corner!

Participants can look forward to learning getting the lowdown from a professional chef on:
• Significance of food plating
• Simple guide for home chefs, using easily available ingredients
• Do’s & don’ts for food plating
• Tools required for plating
• Ingredients and flavours to be used during plating
And after the workshop, the champagne will flow while participants indulge in a delectable buffet. What better way to celebrate Mother’s Day than mastering the art of plating?
Reserve your seat https://www.webtickets.co.za/v2/event.aspx?itemid=1514435874. Ticket price also includes a Hyde Park Corner branded apron and a pair of gloves.
Keep an eye out for our Instagram competition too – a private plating session is up for grabs!

Supper Clubs are Back with a Brand-New Track

For the past two years, communities have been starved of social interaction, networking, and entertainment – all of which make us human. Enter, the return of supper clubs.

Traditionally the original supper club era, dating back to the 1930s, was a place of elaborate parties, with a never-ending flow of champagne, typically American-styled food and live jazz performers keeping the party going until the early hours of the morning. Today, a more refined approach to dining is making a comeback.

The Radisson Blu Hotel Sandton’s Vivace restaurant has introduced the concept to market as the pandemic prohibitions ease. Focusing on the perfect pairing of fresh, seasonal produce, local wines and champagnes, executive chef, Tristan Latouf, creates a modern take on the supper club phenomenon.

Enthusiasts can mark their calendars each month to join the Vivace supper club and are promised an exciting, once-off menu. April’s Supper Club menu draws inspiration from family run Chalmar beef farm located just outside of Johannesburg. Known for his show kitchen charm, Chef Latouf will undoubtably impart his knowledge of food sourcing with guests, mingling between tables and explaining the intricacies of each menu.

In addition, supper club guests are entertained by new performer each month, breathing new life into the golden age ‘dinner and a show’ concept. This month, Will Rayz will be serenading the diners with his smooth covers of popular and older songs.

Vivace’s Supper Club kicks off on the 21s of April at 6:30pm. The 4-course menu, wine pairing and entertainment costs R450 per person. Booking is essential to secure your spot with limited seating available. Email [email protected] to secure your table.
