If you’ve ever dreamt of stepping into the shoes of a TV cooking show contestant, the Mystery Box Dinners series hosted by Chef Ben Ungermann at Makers Landing, Cape Town, promises just that.
Kicking off on Thursday, 24 October, this thrilling dining experience blends hands-on cooking with the unpredictable excitement of a ‘Mystery Box’ challenge.
Inspired by the popular TV competition format, the masterclasses invite participants to create delicious dishes from surprise ingredients revealed just moments before the cooking begins. With only a theme provided beforehand, attendees will need to rely on their creativity and intuition to prepare a visually stunning and delicious meal under Chef Ben’s guidance.
The event offers much more than a cooking class—it’s an immersive dining experience. Before the mystery box challenge, guests are welcomed with bubbly and canapés. After crafting their culinary masterpieces, participants enjoy their creations as part of a three-course dinner, complete with expertly paired South African wines. The evening concludes with a decadent dessert prepared by Chef Ben himself.
With eight masterclasses on the lineup, each session promises a unique theme and new ingredients to discover. Whether you’re a cooking enthusiast or simply looking for an entertaining evening out, the Mystery Box Dinners will challenge your skills.
Tickets are available on Quicket.
