THE fascinating flavours of the Indian Ocean islands are to be savoured in a Mauritian Food Festival to be held at Dieu Donne in Franschhoek on 27 and 28 March.
Guests will be introduced to enticing fusion food which - with its collective French, Creole, Indian and Chinese cultures - has evolved on this most captivating island.
On duty will be two top chefs from a prestigious Mauritian resort group as well as a Sega dancing group who will perform on the restaurant’s lawns over-looking the Valley.
While taking its culinary cue from France, Mauritian chefs eschew the heaviness of sauces for the alchemy of spices – cardamom, nutmeg, yellow chilli powder - to magnify their dishes.
