Melbourne restaurant Rusk will be serving Cape Food for a dinner it is serving during the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival next month, reports the Australian Hospitality magazine.

Rusk owner, Lance Rosen, is a South African, who draws on the Cape Malay heritage of South African food, which he calls “Cape Food”.  He recently visited his mentor Cass Abrahams, who has a Cape Malay restaurant on the Seidelberg wine estate outside Paarl.

S A Tourism has appointed Rosen as a Food Ambassador for South Africa,  and he will cook for a S A Tourism cocktail party and lunch for travel media from Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia.    Rosen’s menu will include biltong, “boebotie”, ‘frikadelle”, “sosaties”, tipsy tart and “koeksusters”.
