Chef Percy Baloyi and Chef de Cuisine Andr\u00e9 Bezuidenhout, from Aurelia\u2019s Restaurant at Emperors Palace, teamed up to produce an extraordinary \u2018Afroperial\u2019 menu which was served to the royal family of Monaco and 100 high-profile guests.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cThis trip was something beyond my wildest dreams.<\/p>
<\/div>\n\u201cBesides representing South Africa and Emperors Palace in Monte Carlo, I also flew for the first time which was absolutely amazing,\u201d Percy explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was also incredible to share my knowledge with overseas chefs, including chef Marcel Ravin, and to learn about the power of working together to create magic in the kitchen.\u201d<\/p>\n
The distinguished guests enjoyed a celebration of African flavour by sampling seven expertly prepared dishes, including lemon-meringue spring rolls, oxtail and grilled dukka crusted salmon.<\/p>\n
The trip ended in true South African style with a lip-smacking braai.<\/p>\n
