Award-winning chef Vusi Ndlovu has just completed his residency at 58 in The Cradle of Humankind, kicking off a series of future residencies. 

Chef Vusi Ndlovu of EDGE in Franschhoek ran his residency creating bespoke a la carte food at FARRMHOUSE 58. One of the key components and concepts around the growth of the restaurant was to begin hosting Chef’s in Residency from around the globe to share and exchange skills within the restaurant community.

As the inaugural session, Vusi showcased his knowledge, techniques and passion and celebration for Africa, with a strong focus on under-utilised ingredients and recipes passed down from generation to generation. To create his menu, he used seasonal, indigenous ingredients grown locally.

“The residency’s goal is to learn about and comprehend Chef’s approach, as well as to encourage deeper dialogues that go beyond food. Chef Vusi stayed at FARMHOUSE 58 for the duration of his one-week residency. Each day, he conducted specially themed workshops with guests at the FARMHOUSE 58. Guests are encouraged to participate, indulge and connect with this experience at their leisure,” FARMHOUSE 58 elaborates.

FARMHOUSE 58 will be releasing its future residencies soon.
