ROUSHANNA GRAY
Wild Food Innovator
Founder of Veld and Sea, Roushanna Gray is a wild food artist and avid forager who shares her passion for the edible landscape through immersive educational experiences, connection and creativity. Inspired by the natural world around her, she has been working and learning about the diverse wild flavours found in the mountains, veld, and gardens for over 15 years.
The wide range of delicious and nutritious edibles found in the intertidal rock pools along the Cape’s coastline plays a major role in her cooking and teaching. Her Veld and Sea rustic wooden Kitchen Cabin and Glasshouse are located at the family’s indigenous plant nursery in the South Peninsula opposite the Cape Point Nature Reserve.
TABBY ROBERTSHAW
Slow Food Chef
Tabby and her husband started their farming adventure 12 years ago, neither of them having any experience. Their first priority was to get some chickens, adding a couple of pigs to help till the soil for a veggie patch. They acquired two and put them to work straight away. What they didn’t know was that one of the young sows was mated and after 115 days they had a male piglet – and were on their way to becoming pig farmers.
Their menagerie has evolved and they now breed a hardy red pig which is perfect for the South African climate and crossbred between Sandveld red, Wild Boar and Iberian Reds. Tabby also farms Boer Goats, ducks, rabbits and has about 40 colonies of bees for honey. Her focus is on farm-based self-sufficiency, foraging and sustainable lifestyle workshops.
JUSTIN BONELLO
Braai Master and Bush Cook
One of Justin Bonello’s multiple talents is inspiring people to embrace a love of food – the South African way. A filmmaker, chef, urban farmer, entrepreneur and television personality, he is best known for starring in his own food and travel show, Cooked. Justin has published 7 recipe books and is currently working on his next one. Having won multiple awards for his reality television series, his focus is now on finding ways to reduce his footprint on the planet and influence change in how city dwellers live in urban environments. In his spare time, you’ll find him creating magic at the braai, or in the kitchen fearlessly experimenting with flavours and ingredients. The sun, the open road and the smoky aromas of a steak cooking nearby – are Justin’s favourite memory makers.
KEVIN ARNOLD
Cellar Master
Cellar Master Kevin Arnold is the Cellar Master and managing partner of Waterford Wine Estate. His renowned passion for wine began when he was a student at Elsenburg Agricultural College in Stellenbosch. He spent several years gaining experience in Germany, Napa Valley, Portugal, Italy, France and Chile with his first position as a fully-fledged winemaker at Delheim, where he spent nine years. He went on to enjoy ten years at Rust en Vrede Estate, where he managed the vineyards, made the wine and marketed the total production. This experience proved the potential of the Stellenbosch region and with the investment of Jeremy Ord, the idea of Waterford Estate was born. The winery was established in 1998. Kevin’s winemaking philosophy is based on continuity, longevity, and perpetuation of what has been successful before.
