This week we also took a trip to South Africa to visit a wellness retreat in the Cederberg Wilderness Area, a place that on top of offering breathtaking views features food from chef Floris Smith who cooks with indigenous ingredients and old style cooking techniques that may have otherwise been forgotten.
Smith uses ingredients such as rooibos and fynbos when cooking, trying to incorporate these foods into the dishes he prepares.
