Learn Culinary Confidence in Pringle Bay Pringle Proms’ 11th October event in Pringle Bay is Brian Berkman offering a Learn – Taste – Feast cooking workshop to help people punch up their flavour game with crowd-pleasing make-ahead dishes. These may include Asian Chicken Salad; Vegan Bean Tagine; Dips and Spreads; Cookies and Cakes; Carb-free Mash, Soups equally delicious served hot or chilled and more. Pringle Proms is a series of monthly gatherings – Compelling Conversations or Arresting Performances with a meal which has received 22 only five-star reviews from attendees. This isn’t just cooking – it’s culinary confidence! “Culinary confidence comes from planning ahead and practice. This is something I can teach,” says Berkman, who regularly creates buffet lunches for between 20 and 30 people. Berkman followed a very restricted low-carb and sugar-free diet for more than a decade and frequently caters for vegan and low-carb diners. “Inviting people with different dietary requirements to the same event can be challenging, but I will share my tips for navigating these. I did a chef’s training a millennia ago and worked as a newspaper restaurant critic for many years.” “Delicious doesn’t have to be expensive,” Berkman says, “but it is important to know when using high-quality ingredients matters and when it doesn’t. Taking shortcuts is smart and I will show you how.” Book today for Saturday, 11th October, hands-on workshop and training between 10am and 3pm. Cost is R500 per person and includes cocktails, wine and all you can eat, emailed recipes as well as a fun social day together. The event is at 26 Edward Road in Pringle Bay in the Western Cape. Limited to only 12 participants. https://www.quicket.co.za/events/336735-learn-culinary-confidence-in-pringle-bay

South African icon, Pieter-Dirk Uys and his Evita Bezuidenhout will be the opening act to launch the Pringle Proms, a soigné soiree. At home and unplugged, this is a gathering for only 20 people on Friday, December 8 in Pringle Bay.
Following voorkamer-fees, house concerts and intimate foodie gatherings, Pringle Bay’s Brian Berkman announces Pringle Proms, a series of unplugged performances, deep conversations, and delicious food in the intimacy of his home.
Evita Bezuidenhout is 88 (always 10-years older than her impersonator, Pieter-Dirk Uys!) “Maar boer maak ‘n plan”, Uys says. “Going into the next year of the ANC’s 112th birthday and the general election in 2024, Evita proves that there is no sell-by date for the Most Famous White Woman in South Africa. She shares her hopes and her fears. Tannie Evita doesn’t need to look into a crystal ball to see where South Africa is going. The future is certain; it’s just the past that is unpredictable,” Uys says.
Enjoy hearty soups (one vegan) with breads and dips included in the ticket price. Desserts and other treats will be offered on the night, at additional fees. Feel welcome to bring your own wines.
The hope is that guests and performers mingle and linger to make the evening a social connection too.
Doors open at 6pm and the performance begins at 8pm.
The Most Famous White Women in South Africa, Evita Bezuidenhout hired Brian Berkman in 1997 to assist with publicity and, 26-years later, in 2023, she helps Berkman launch his Pringle Proms.
Tickets are R250 each and are now available at Quicket https://qkt.io/Evita or directly below. Email PringleProms@BrianBerkman.com to be included in news of future events.
