On Friday 27
June 2014, award-winning Executive Chef Kevin Joseph from The Oyster Boxin KwaZulu-Natal will return to sister
property The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa for one night only, to cook up a storm
for Cape Town residents and hotel guests. This year his four-course Indian
feast will be accompanied by a fine selection of wines from Stellekaya, a
privately-owned boutique winery situated in the heart of Stellenbosch, and served
in the breathtaking seaside setting of The Twelve Apostles’ fine dining
restaurant Azure.
Prior to joining The Oyster Box 10 years ago, Kevin
Joseph accumulated a wealth of hands-on experience at leading hotels around the
world, including the Raffles Hotel in Singapore and Claridge’s Hotel and
Tamarind Restaurant in London. He also spent time in various other
hotels within the Red Carnation Hotel Collection in the UK and South Africa. Chef
Joseph describes his cooking style as 'classic with a twist of modern' and says
he believes in fresh, locally sourced ingredients and generous portions! He is the current chairman of the
Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) branch and was recently awarded a
prestigious Blazon by the Chaîne.
Kevin Joseph’s dishes will be paired with wines from
Stellekaya. The winery produces a collection of red wines that typify the
Stellenbosch terroir, with all grapes sourced from its farm and surrounding
producers in the region.
The special
evening takes off with Masala seared tuna loin, saffron butter poached
langoustine, chilli infused avocado puree and peanut and coriander dressing. A
vegetarian variation of the dish features Tikka scented paneer and turmeric
potato cake, also served with chilli infused avocado puree and peanut and
coriander dressing. These mouth-watering starters will be matched with
Stellekaya’s Cape Cross 2009.
Chef Joseph
follows this with a vegetarian second course - Coconut, potato and spinach soup
with crispy fried green banana, pudina leaves and caraway crouton. The exotic
flavours of the dish are set to be further enhanced by Stellekaya’s Pinot Noir
2012. Chilled falooda panna cotta is then served as a sorbet, before
proceedings move on to the main course - Savoury Indian spice rubbed confit of
duck, presented with tandoori mango and cauliflower puree, Aloo Baingan (baked
potato and aubergine), carrot and zucchini lattice, saffron and almond cream.
Vegetarian guests meanwhile may enjoy Fried masala spiced risotto in lieu of
the duck. The flavour explosion will be supported by Stellekaya’s Merlot 2008.
The evening
finishes with a sweet flourish, thanks to a dessert of Gulab Jamun (fried
dumplings), with mildly sweetened yoghurt sprinkled with toasted pistachios,
zesty mango salsa and Chai tea ice cream. This final course is served with
Stellekaya Grappa as a digestive.
