Don’t miss the upcoming Food
meets Fine Art and Wine tomorrow (January 28) at Cargo Hold, where it won’t
be just about good wine and spectacular fare but also an opportunity to
appreciate the arts.
Cargo Hold, at uShaka Marine World, has teamed up with
Artisan Gallery who will be displaying artworks by established, as well as the
finest up and coming South African artists, primarily from KZN. The artworks on
show at the gallery are all handmade, unique, featuring work from a wide variety
of disciplines, both traditional and contemporary – that of fine art,
sculptures, ceramics, jewellery, woodwork and textiles.
The works of art displayed on the night at Cargo Hold will
include ceramics by John Shirley, known for his quality bone china; well-known
and highly respected artist John Smith; painted works by Nhlanhla Chonco; vibrant
paintings by Anne Cleveland and sculptures by Carl Roberts, known for his works
in bone, bronze and wood.
With a creative display, it is only fitting that there be
exceptionally creative menus. Upon arrival, guests can expect a sorbet of
Pineapple granite and Pina Colada foam before being directed to their seat for
the evening
Sip on a Chardonnay while enjoying a starter of Salmon,
scallop and Prawn (butter poached scallop, salmon, beetroot chiffonade, mango
mousse, ginger aioli, jalapeno and teriyaki prawn)
This will be followed by a selection of main courses, that
of a Seared Lamb (seared lamb rump and loin, parsnip puree, portabella
mushrooms, mint pesto crumb, fondant potato and lamb jus); Grilled vegetable
stack (aubergine, brown mushroom, red pepper, baby marrow, cous cous, butternut
veloute, basil pesto); or Roasted chicken supreme (roasted chicken supreme,

Decadent dessert fitting for this creative evening is

marshmallow in a caramel soil and accompanied by a dessert wine fit for the
occasion.
To end the perfect night in the presence of beautiful art,
