It’s going to be hot in the concept kitchen at Decorex Joburg this year as the GlamFoodie, Chez Fong; Ella Khumalo the Cook, and more will be serving it up in the Samsung Bespoke Cooking Theatre.
Take a seat at the proverbial table from 28-31 July 2022 for the tastiest cooking demos in Jozi. The live cooking displays are free to attend if you hold a ticket for the show.
Chef Su-Yen Thornhill
Make space in your foodie schedule to watch the following chefs in action:
GlamFoodie WINE&DINE is the brainchild of Charmaine Ramalope, a food and wine writer, social media content creator, and foodfluencer. Her flair for all things gourmet has gained her a fair share of the limelight within the foodie circles – from hosting interactive cooking classes, to wine tastings and fine dining dinners… All of which have attracted some of Joburg’s elite socialites. Charmaine has collaborated with top brands such as Magnum, Nescafè Dolce Gusto and Hellmanns Mayonnaise.

Away from the stovetop, there is a host of fabulous foodie offerings at the show, from restaurants and pop-up cafes to exhibitors that will help you realise your dream kitchen. Be seen at Njano. Bright lemony yellow (a Plascon colour that oozes zest) will beckon you to this bold eatery created by Cassandra Twala of moea design. The striking scheme is inspired by African beadwork – here it has been vastly scaled up into an over-stated wonderland.
