Are you ready for The Good Life Show 2025 at the Cape Town International Convention Centre from 30 May to 1 June?
This year's event will feature a star-studded line-up of international and local chefs, with the focus being on celebrating the ever-evolving organic, plant-based and natural industries.
The likes of renowned British Michelin-starred celebrity chef Jameson Stocks, internationally-acclaimed raw gourmet food pioneer Dr Aris LaTham and the Executive Chef at Mount Nelson Luke Lawrence Barry will all be in attendance to show off their incredible array of skills and knowledge.
Heidi Warricker, The Good Life Show's organiser, says: “We are absolutely thrilled to have such a stellar line-up of chef talent on board. One of the biggest trends worldwide is wellness, sustainability and food awareness, and this is where The Good Life Show is bang on target.
"People are becoming more aware of what they are consuming, where it comes from as well as the effects on the environment. Chefs are actively seeking to source higher quality, locally sourced and often smaller producer ingredients. This trend is driven by a desire for fresh, flavourful and healthier food, support for local communities and a growing emphasis on sustainability and ethically-produced goods.”
