Margot Cooking Around the World in 2010
If you live in Brazil or Bangkok and you'd like to experience Margot Janse's famous cuisine then 2010 looks set to be your lucky year. Margot has been invited to take part in the International Culture and Gastronomy Festival, taking place in Tiradentes, for five days at the end of August. She is then going to be the guest chef at the Sukothai in Bangkok from October 15th -17th.
Don't forget that if you're a serious fan of Margot's food you can fly anywhere in the world on KLM (in business class out of Amsterdam) and enjoy a menu designed by none other than Margot Janse. This will be available until the end of September 2010.
We will update the Le Quartier Français blog regarding these culinary events closer to each event.

Global Pizza Challenge in Melbourne!
Neil Jewell - head chef and Charcuterie King at Bread & Wine Vineyard Restaurant on Môreson - has recently won the South African leg of the 2010 Global Pizza Challenge.
The pizza that clinched first place - and, according to insider information, knocked the judges socks off - had a smoked flour base topped with aubergine, confit of Karoo lamb, sheeps' feta, buchu and quince dressing.

Travel with Purpose - Mrs Ndaba
When we introduced Ndaba Fridays (at the end of 2009) we hoped that, by the end of 2010, we would be able to feed the 68 Mrs. Ndaba toddlers every day of week.
We began this initiative with just our Mrs. Ndaba Fridays Culinary Concierge Programme. Through this programme, interested Le Quartier Français guests are given the opportunity to bake and deliver nutritious muffins to the toddlers every Friday.
On the very first day of the Mrs Ndaba Fridays Programme, one of our guests - Mr Tuesday - liked the concept so much that he decided to sponsor food for a year of Mrs. Ndaba Tuesdays.

A little later on Meneer Wednesday, who hasn't yet stayed at Le Quartier Français, decided that he too wanted to sponsor a years worth of Mrs. Ndaba days.
Then along came Mr and Mrs Thursday, Mr and Mr Monday and (most recently) Mr and Mrs Friday. Suddenly, in far less time than we originally anticipated, we have secured five days a week worth of meals for Mrs. Ndaba's 68 toddlers.
The Ndaba Fridays Programme has proved to be awe-inspiring. It has been amazing and humbling to witness, first hand, how many good and generous people there are in world. People who are all looking for sustainable ways to change the lives of those in need.
