Vusumuzi Ndlovu came seventh in the S.Pellegrino Young Chef 2018 awards that took place in Milan over this past weekend. His accomplishment has made SA proud.
Vusumuzi Ndlovu is a chef at The Marabi Club, a place known for its good Jazz music and delectable food. The young chef did the club proud by heading off to the S.Pellegrino Young Chef 2018 awards. He made the whole of South Africa proud by finishing in the top 10 and being named the 7th best young chef of 2018.
Vusumuzi competed against 20 other chefs for his title. The final leg of the international competition, based in Milan, saw Vusumuzi prep and present his signature dish to a jury of seven international judges. These judges are commonly referred to as the Seven Sages.
During the competition, Vusumuzi was given guidance and mentorship by DW Eleven-13’s Marthinus Ferreira. Vusumuzi won the Africa and Middle East semi-final which is what pushed him to the final in Milan.
He presented the judges with a dish that looks too beautiful to eat. It was made up of aged duck, grains, and variations of pumpkin. The dish was called ‘Isicupho’ and was based on his childhood.
After making it to the top 7, Vusumuzi shared his thanks for all the love and support he received.
