Day 5 - REUBEN'S BASTILLE FESTIVAL COOK ALONG

Calling all foodies, aspiring chefs and anyone who loves trying their hand at making a delicious meal. Don your beret and tie those apron strings as you join celebrity chef and Franschhoek local, Reuben Riffel for a fun Bastille Festival inspired cook along this Sunday, 5 July.  Not only is Reuben an internationally acclaimed chef, but he is also known for his food-focussed television shows and advertisements, cookbooks and philanthropic work. One of his better known TV roles is as one of the judges on MasterChef South Africa. 

Reuben’s step by step cook along forms part of the 10-day festival reveal, which started on 1 July. He will be showing you how to prepare a tasty Steak Diane served charred onion, potato fondant, peppercorn, and bone marrow croquettes. Yum! 

All you need to make this delicious meal, which serves four, is the following:
