And happily, we can report that even the most inexperienced cooks – in this case, athletes who eat more for fuel than fun – can produce delicious gourmet dishes. All they needed was a little help from some of the country’s best-loved chefs and four very enthusiastic Vodacom Red clients, a kitchen stocked with every ingredient, pantry staple and cooking appliance imaginable, a garden of fresh produce – and a little pressure. Something DHL Stormers players Juan de Jongh, Leolin Zas, Stephan de Wit and Scarra Ntubeni know how to perform under.
With just 90 minutes to conceptualise and create a winning main course and dessert, the four teams were quickly put to work by chefs Reuben Riffel, Margot Janse, Kamini Pather and J’Something. Much directing, peeling, chopping, stirring, frying, baking and banter later, and the foodie judging panel sat down to decide which of the four teams would take top honours. In the end, it was the team, made up of chef Reuben Riffel, Vodacom Red client and winner Mark Theron and Stormers player Leolin Zas, who won the day with their seafood pasta main dish and white chocolate and macadamia dessert.
