MasterChef Australia’s George Calombaris in Cape Town

We were delighted to hear that George Calombaris – the lovable co-judge of MasterChef Australia fame, was going to be in town for this year’s Good Food & Wine Show.

Our editor got the chance to meet George at the launch of his new cookware range (which for now is only available in South Africa at a leading homeware store!). The range is called “Greek – by George Calombaris” and for those who don’t know, George is Greek and pays much homage to his cultural origins through his food. Look out for his new book which will be available shortly – also called “Greek”.

Watch the video below that offers a sneak peek of what you can expect from the book…

Have a look at what George got up to while he was in South Africa last week!

Hello Cape Town. Nice to see you again. GC xxx #GFWS2016
