SINGITA LEADS THE WAY WITH NEW SAFARI DINING
Singita has been taking its gourmet offering to the next level with a series of epicurean additions across all of its properties throughout 2018.
August 20thAFRICA
Guests of Singita Lebombo and Singita Sweni Lodges in the Kruger National Park are now treated to a new cooking demonstration studio at Singita Lebombo, where they can recreate acclaimed chef Liam Tomlin’s dishes with brand new cooking classes, and visit the overhauled and now internationally recognised Singita Community Culinary School. Singita Boulders Lodge in the Sabi Sand has unveiled a brand new interactive kitchen, completing the unique culinary circuit inspired by the setting and style of Singita’s five South Africa Lodges.
NEW DEMONSTRATION STUDIO OFFERING COOKING CLASSES AT SINGITA LEBOMBO LODGE
Working with acclaimed chef Liam Tomlin, Singita has launched cooking classes for guests staying at Singita Lebombo and Singita Sweni Lodges. In addition to traditional South African dishes, menus will draw on deceptively simple dishes of superior provenance plated beautifully without fuss – a signature he is renowned for at his award-winning Chef’s Warehouse restaurant in Cape Town.
SINGITA COMMUNITY CULINARY SCHOOL
Singita Lebombo’s brand new demonstration studio offers students from the Singita Community Culinary School an opportunity to be introduced to a range of experimental, artisanal cooking techniques. One of Singita’s key conservation programmes, the Singita Community Culinary School (formerly the Singita School of Cooking) has been rebranded and overhauled with a curriculum compiled by the Hospitality Trainers and Associates (HTA) School of Culinary Art, which is internationally recognised. Ten candidates selected from surrounding communities embark on a 12-month programme that has been carefully reorganised in partnership with headline chef Liam Tomlin and the Singita Head Chefs. The students spend time learning the basics in Singita Lebombo’s staff canteen, followed by stints working in the five lodge kitchens in South Africa, being taught the various modules of the curriculum in the cooking school’s demo studio. Equipped with culinary skills and hands-on experience in high-level kitchens, graduates leave with the know-how and confidence to apply for a commis chef position in any professional kitchen.
